BOMBER’S FLIGHT
Press Associatioyi. WELLINGTON, To-day. The De Haviiand bombing machine in which Captain Findlay, of Sockburn Airdrome, is paying an official visit to Trentham, will probably return South to-morrow at 10 a.m. Coming from Sockburn it covered betw r een 230 and 240 miles at an average speed of 104 miles an hour. The speed would have been greater, but there was a north-easter as far as the Kaikouras. He flew along the coast at an altitude of 6.000 ft as far as the mountains and then diverted and passed over Blenheim across the Straits at B,oooft.
