Mr J. S. Stannage, Sir Charles Kings ford Smith’s business manager, is on the Aorangi and will check the Wheeler Field, also fuel arrangements. He says Sir Charles plans to fly very high when nearing Hawaii in the hope of finding a tail wind. Surface trade winds are blowing against him this season, but the navy aerographer at Pearl Harbour says there is a good chance of a favourable wind above-6000 feet.
