Rloo’s FLIGHT.
DEFECTS REVEALED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received March 5, 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, March 4. An examination of RIOO, after her duration flight, revealed certain defects in the envelope, and in engine accessories, the remedying of which will occupy until late April, when the airship prepares for the flight to Saint Hubert in Canada, whence she is leaving about the middle of May. The chief necessity is to fix the outer cover more securely, as the fabric has not held at many points. The Air Ministry will not officially take over the airship until the repair work has been completed.
