AVIATION
MR MOLLISON’S PLANS FLIGHT TO CAPETOWN (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, Nov. 19. Mr Mollison hopes to leave for the Cape on November 25. He is seeking an airworthiness certificate, but will make the flight whether or not he receives the certificate. “If an Atlantic crossing does not make a plane airworthy I do not know what does,” he said. The Air Ministry previously ruled that the plane must not leave without a certificate owing to advice received from the United States. It had not recently been granted a certificate, and could not now be certified as airworthy. PLANE FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES CANBERRA, Nov. 20. Mr T. Patterson announced that the Federal Cabinet had decided to purchase an aeroplane for use for medical purposes in North Australia.
