On 26 April 1930 "Graf Zeppelin" made a brief visit to England commanded by Lehmann; it flew low over the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, dipping in salute to King George V, then briefly moored alongside the larger R100 at Cardington, before returning to Germany with Eckener in command. On 18 May, it left on a triangular flight between Spain, Brazil, and the US, carrying 38 passengers, many of them in crew accommodation. At Seville the Infante Alfonso, cousin of the Spanish King, boarded on a goodwill visit to Cuba. At 9:30 am on 20 May, a ceremony on board celebrated becoming the first airship to cross the equator. Drinking and washing water ran low in the hot conditions. The ship arrived at Recife (Pernambuco) in Brazil, docking at Campo do Jiquiá on 22 May, where a temporary mooring mast and fuelling station had been set up, and 300 soldiers helped land it. It then flew to Rio de Janeiro, where it arrived ahead of time and spent some hours flying around the city. When it landed, there was no post to tether to, so it was held down by the landing party for the two hours of the visit.
