MOLLISON'S RETURN
ANTICIPATED SOON
MACHINE QUITE FIT
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, 22nd August. Although New York is feting Mr. J. A. Mollison, the British airman, and-, he has been deluged with invitations, it is anticipated that he will make his return flight to England in the near future, probably this week.
His Puss Moth machine and Gipsy 3 engine are, he says, in perfect condition, and require no attention. This is borne out by a report to the makers, Messrs. De Haviland, from New York engineers, who say that the machine does not appear to have flown 50 miles, and is quite ready for the return journey. It consumed only 3J gallons of oil during its 30 hours ' flight. As Mr. Mollison can depend on following winds and will have a long north to south coastline ahead, he expects the return, .flight to be easier than the westward one. He will shape a course for Croydon.
