AFRICA TO AUSTRALIA
PROPOSED FLIGHT ABANDONED
EXPENSE TOO BIG A HURDLE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, To-day
Flying-Officer Jarman arrived by the Monowai f roni Sydney to-day. Ho gave as the reason for the non-evqntuation of the projected flight from Khartoum (Northern Africa) to Australia the fact that customs requirements and the expense of the flight were too big a hurdle and consequently he had flown to Port Said and shipped his machine from there. An old boy of tho Wellington College, Mr Jarman is attached to the 47th Bombing Squadron at Khartoum and is in Now Zealand on furlough, this being his first trip home since joining the Royal Air Force five years ago. He intends to do some flying here, but says that more than anything else he wants to sell his machine, an AvroAvian.
Flying-Officer Lovell Gregg, of Pieton, also arrived by the Monowai to spend six weeks in New Zealand before proceeding to England for further service in the Royal Air Force.
