TASMAN SEA FLIGHT.
NEW ZEALANDER MAY START. Lieutenant C- R. Pratt, who left Naw Zealand with the Main Body and sew service in Egypt, Palestine, and on Gallipoli, is returning to the Dominion. Lieutenant Pratt, after receiving his commission, was transferred to the Royal Air Force and subsequently appointed to the position of instructor, and in that capacity was responsible for the training of a number of New Zealand airmen. Lieutenant Pratt intends bringing several aerolanes with him for commercial flying, but is at present delayed in Australia, where he is conducting a series of flights. He is interesting himself in the suggested flight from Australia to New Zealand, and if the conditions are suitable will probably attempt to make the passage across the Tasman Sea.
