A NEW ZEALAND-MADE MACHINE
TEST FLIGHT AT WHAKATANE WHAKATANE, This Day. A monoplane constructed at Whakatane was given a flying test on Ohaupo 'beach yesterday by the builder, John Allison. The 'plane rose from the beach and flew about a mile 60 feet up in-the air, but as the motor did not appear to be functioning perfectly the aviator deemed it wise to effect a landing and not make any more tests that dav. A further flying test will be made" this week.
