FINAL ARRANGEMENTS MADE.
DAYLIGHT TASMAN FLIGHT,
(J3y Tclcgrnpli.—Own Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, this day
Sir Charles Kingsford Smith has cabled the Director-General of the Post and Telegraph Department that, owing to winter conditions, he proposes to jnake a daylight fight in connection with the silver jubilee trans-Tasman crossing. Tills, lie states, should mean that the 'plane will arrive at New Plymouth at approximately 8 p.m. to-morrow (Tuesday), unless" very adverse weather is encountered. _ To provide an indication of the weight of correspondence which will have to be carried on the return trip the aviators will appreciate early posting of the souvenir first covers of the all-air New Zealand-England ' flight. This will facilitate not only the return crossing of the Tasinan, but the arrangements for "continuing air transit from Australia to the countries covered by the service.
Sir Charles has fixed the time of the take-off from New Zealand for dawn on Monday next from Ninety-mile Beach, and all air mail which reaches Auckland by Saturday can be included in the flight.
