CODOCK PLANE NOT READY.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, Dec. 19.
Sir Charles Kingsford Smith will fly the Southern Cross to New Plymouth about the middle of January. The new Codock monoplane, which is being built at the Cockatoo Island dockyards, will not be ready then owing to delay in the delivery of the engines from England, but if the ’plane gives satisfactory results in tests it will be flown to New Plymouth later. Sir Charles will pilot the Southern Cross and Captain P. G. Taylor will be navigator. The new monoplane will be flown by Captain T. White with Commander Bennett as navigator.
