There were two similar machines the Southern Cross Minor and the Southern Cross Major. Bill Lancaster a WW1 Pilot was in some difficulty at the time (beating a murder charge in the USA)and needed to do something spectacular. He bought the Southern Cross Minor from Kingsford Smith to beat the London to Cape Town record but didnt make it.
