MOLLISON OFF.
First Stage of Long Solo
Flight.
SOUTH ATLANTIC ATTEMPT. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 12.30 p.m.) RUGBY, February 6. Mr. J. A. Mollison, the British airman, intended to leave Lympne at daybreak, but owing to a dense sea mist valuable time was lost, and it was not until 8.11 that he was able to take-off. His wife, in her own machine, Desert Cloud, in which she made her recent flight to and from Capetown, preceded her husband and accompanied hini to the south coast of France. Mr. Mollison landed at Barcelona this afternoon, after a stormy flight. He resumed after an hour's rest. The airman is making for Thies, French Senegal, from where he proposes to fly solo across the South Atlantic to Port Natal, Brazil.
