AEROPLANE FLIGHT
GOOD AVERAGE OBTAINED. WELLINGTON, This Day. The de Haviland bombing machine, in which Captain Findlay, of Sockburn, is paying an official visit to Trentham will probably return south to-morrow at 10 a.m. Coming from Sockburn it covered between 230 and 240 miles at an average of 104 miles per hour. The speed would, have been greater, but for a north-easter as far as the Kaikouras. He flew along the coast at an altitude of 6000 feet as far as the mountains, then diverted and passed over Blenheim and across the straits at 8000 feet. He thinks there should be a landing place nearer Wellington than Trentham. —Press Assn.
