For the journey to Whangarei the promoters estimate to cover the distance in hours, and the Thames in 45 minutes. The proposal has been considered by the Minister, and as the outcome, the flights will bo made during January, Which is the most settled month as far as weather is concerned in the northern centre. A seaplane is the aerial medium selected for these flights, as the journeys to be made will be largely over the water.
