The Schneider Trophy Contest of 1931 was place in England, with the aircraft being stationed at Calshot.
The commencement and culmination of the 186-mile route were situated at Ryde, with additional waypoints positioned northeast of Cowes and at West Wittering.
Due to prevailing political and economic challenges, the organisation of the race in Great Britain was made possible solely via the generous contribution of 100,000 pounds by Lady Houston. The event took place at the identical venue as the 1929 iteration, with a designated date of Saturday, the 12th. The inclement weather, characterised by heavy rainfall obscuring the horizon, necessitated the postponement of the event to the subsequent day.
