BUMPY PASSAGE
MELBOURNE TO MASCOT
OSCAR GARDEN'S FLIGHT ' SYDNEY, 13th November. The Now Zealand airman, Oscar Garden, arrived at Mascot this afternoon from Melbourne, after a very bumpy passage. Stopping at Canberra en route, the airman had a narrow escape from injury, his aeroplane coming to a standstill after landing, when a heavy gust of wind struck it at an angle. The machine tipped over on a wing, balanced for a few seconds, and then fell back on ike wheels undamaged. During the journey Garden sometimes fell or shot upwards hundreds of feet, due to air pockets.
