DOMINION BOMBING ’PLANE
OFFICIAL FLIGHT TO TRENTHAM. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, April 6. The Do Haviland bombing machine in which Captain Findlay, of Sockburn, is paying an official visit to Trentham, will probably return south to-morrow. Coming from Sockburn it covered between 230 and 240 miles at an average speed of 104 miles an hour. The speed would have been greater, but a northeaster was met with as far as the Kaikouras. Captain Findlay flew along the coast at an altitude of 6000 feet as far as the mountains, then diverted and passed over Blenheim and across Cook Strait at 8000 feet. He thinks there should 'be a landing place nearer Wellington than Trentham.
