FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA.
D 1 mouLTIES REiCOGN IS ED. BUT TRIP WILL NOT *BE ABANDONED'. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received 12.5 p.m. to-day. LONDON, May 31. Mr. Allen Cobbani, in an 'article in Airways., say®: Every clay the weather is getting worse in India and in Burman section, but we could not entertain the idea of abandoning, the flight, because if we want to demonstrate the possibility of a regular service to Australia, it is better we should jsee it under the worst conditions.. We will possibly encounter .severe dmsb storms and sand storms in Iraq, and will run into the .monsoon as we go further east and south. As a commercial proposition it will not be feasible to cover the entire route with the same type of machine ,because the section from Calcutta to Australia is most certainly the seaplane’s task. —«Au®-N.Z.
