Manchester Hero June 29th 1934 docking at Newport News in the state of Virginia USA. This was a promotional tour organised by Sentinel to promotes sales in the States. The promotional tour encompassed Virginia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Massachusetts. Unfortunately a serious accident curtailed the trip and was returned to Sentinel.
