INSTRUCTOR'S COMMENTS [Pin United Press Association.] SYDNEY, January 9. (Received January 9, at 10 a.in.) “ Fine and foolish,” is how Captain Leggatt, who gave Guy Menzies his first flying lessons, describes the flight to New Zealand. “ Nobody could detract from the greatness of the achievement,” he said, “ but any airman, no matter how skilled, who attempts a solo flight across the Tasman in a ' single-engined machine is foolish.” FRENCH LEAVE? Preis Association—C;v Tclegiaph—Copyright. SYDNEY, January 9. (Received January 9, at 12.30 p.im.) Mr Albert James, who owns the controlling interest in the Southern Cross Junior, stated that the flight to New Zealand was undertaken without his permission or information.
