FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA
COBHAM ON THE PROSPECTS.
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) (Received Ist June, 11 a.m.) LONDON, X 3lst May. Mr. Alan Cobham, the world airman, in an article in "Airways," says that every day the weather is crowing worse in. the India and Burma section, but he could not entertain the idea of abandoning the flight, because, ho says, 'if we want to demonstrate the possibility of a regular service to Australia, it is better that we should see it under the worst conditions. We shall possibly encounter severe dust storms' and sand storms in Irak, and the monsoon as we go further east and south. As a commercial proposition it is not feasible to cover the entire route in the same typo of machine, because the section between Calcutta and Australia is most certainly the seaplane's task.'"
