CLOUSTON TO FLY FROM ENGLAND TO N.Z.
(Received noon.) SYDNEY, This Day. The “Daily Telegraph” announces that, in conjunction with the 150th anniversary celebrations committee, it has arranged a flight by Flying-Officer A. E. Clouston from England to Australia and New Zealand and then back to England, Mr Clouston will fly the Comet in which Messrs C. W. A. Scott and the late Campbell Black won the Melbourne Centenary Air Race. He aims to complete the whole trip in 10 days. Mr Victor Ricketts, one of England’s foremost aviation experts and journalists, will be co-pilot. The “Daily Telegraph’s” object in sponsoring the flight is to publicise Australia’s 150th anniversary. When Mr Clouston has broken the record to Darwin and Sydney, he will fly on to Wellington-and back to England, via Sydney.
