AIR SEARCH
Lost Aviators
INVESTIGATIONS SO FAB RESULTLESS
INADEQUATE MAPS PROVIDED FOUR MACHINES ENGAGED (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) Sydney, April 17. The Canberra left Derby yesterday to search for the Kookooburra, but having got as far as Hall’s Creek the plane returned to Wyndham to have its radio generator repaired.
Captain Holden stated that, all the fires seen on the 500 miles covered had been investigated, but none revealed any trace of Captain Anderson. Two Royal Australian Air Force planes have arrived at Alice Springs, and will search from there.
Captain Matheson’s Goulburn Moth is being repaired at Duchess. He hopes to join in the search on Monday.
A later message states that the Canberra left Wyndham this afternoon continuing the search for Caotain Anderson. The task is hampered by inadequate maps.—Australian Press Association.
