TASMA FLIGHT
MOODY'S PLANS. SEAPLANE TO BE USED. AMERICAN CRAFT ARRIVES. (Per Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Captain Moody (formerly senior pilot in the Queensland Air Service), who contemplates a flight to New Zealand and back, says he would not attempt the flight across the Tasman Sea in a monoplane, as the stretch of water is far too great and the risk enormous. He hoped to make arrangements with shipping to keep in touch with his machine by radio continuously throughout the flight. . Captain Moody said he would make his flight in the American seaplane which had just been landed m Sydney. He had not yet unpacked it. Ihe machine was bought by an Australian syndicate. He said the present was the most favourable time for an ■ attempt, and he intended setting out as early as possible: . . , Mrs Moody is very enthusiastic, and is overjoyed at the prospect of accompanying her husband.
