'PLANE WITHOUT VICES
Sydney Man’s Invention BEHAVES WELL IN GALE (Received 17, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, March 16. Edgar Percival, of Sydney, flew a new Gull Monoplane designed by himself at Gravesend when all other machines kept to the ground owing to gale. The 'plane, which had never been flown before, behaved wonderfully well. It is described as without vices—a rare thing in a hitherto untested aircraft. With the wind it approached a speed of 255 miles an hour.
