CODOCK’S FLIGHT
Reports Surprise Sir Charles Kingsford Smith CROSSINGS IN WINTER By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, May 5. Surprise was expressed by Sir Charles Kingsford Smith that, reports had been circulated stating that the Codock monoplane was to leave New South Wales to-day for its flight to New Zealand. “It is no use joy-riding across the Tasman in winter.” he said. “The machine has been thoroughly tested and found satisfactory In every way. but it will not be brought to New Zealand until Dominion Airways are ready to take it into service. We eamiot afford to send the machine across on ‘spec.’ The last tests were made only two days before I left.” Sir Charles expressed the opinion that the time was fast approaching when there would be a trans-Tasinan passenger and mail air service, but it would be necessary to organise an allNew Zealand service first, so that mails could be given rapid distribution when they arrived in the Dominion.
