OFFICIAL SURVEY
CAPT. TAYLOR’S FLIGHT (9 a.m.) SYDNEY, Nov. 1. The Australian airman. Captain P. G. Taylor, has arrived in Sydney after a survey flight of the Pacific for the Royal Air Force Transport Command. It was his 25th Pacific air crossing.
He captained an R.A.F. Catalina, and his crew included Flight-Lieutenant J. Henderson, a New Zealand navigator. Discussing the purposes of the survey, Captain Taylor said he understood that the R.A.F. proposed to send aircraft to the Pacific theatre after Germany capitulated. His survey had been most exhaustive, occupying some weeks and covering large areas. He said that, so far as he knew, the survey flight had nothing to do with the military air service to operate between Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
