NIGHT FLYING POSTPONED
♦ SOUTHERN CROSS HELD UP BY FOG A crowd numbering about 2000 waited in the fog at Wigram aerodrome last evening to watch the Southern Cross make the night flights it was scheduled to carry out, but after taxi-ing round the ground. Sir . Charles Kingsford-Smith decided that the undertaking would be too risky, and the evening's programme was abandoned. The machine will go to Geraldine to-day, and if the weather is good will carry out night flying m Christehurch on its return in the evening. The Southern Cross will leave tomorrow for Martinborough and Hastings.
