It had been in flight for eight minutes at the time of the last observation. but the pride of the owner, Mr Bert Daeombe, a well-known designer, in’ litis aeronautical capabilities was rather dimmed by the fact that its disappearance into the heavens meant the loss of the leisure hours Inborn of several weeks and a considerable outlay in materials. He had anticipated raisin it tlm New Zealand duration records with the model, which was of advanced design ; now, unless ai long chance should result in is being found somewhere between Addington and Lake Ellesmere. he lias onlv the cold comfort of knowing that it was at least a good fiver.
