Exhaustive tests, including a flight across the Timor Sea, will be made in connection with the Air Board's investigations into the alleged inacciyiacy of the wireless direction-finding station at Darwin. "There is no suggestion of carelessness or incompetence on the part of the staft of the Royal Australian Air Force signals branch operating the directionfinding set at Darwin," said Mr. H. A. Di"by, aviation manager for Kobert Bryce and Company, Melbourne agents for the Monospar 'plane. He added that the inquiry is being made into the reasons why the machine went off its course and was desired purely to ascertain whether any phenomenon existed which might make the bearings from the station unreliable under any given set of circumstances.
