BERT HINKLER LANDS AT MALTA.
NARROWLY MISSES WIRELESS MASTS WHEN FLYING IN DARKNESS. By Telegraph-—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON. February 9. A message from Mr Bert Hinkler at Malta states that he was over the sea during practically the whole of the flight from Rome, whence he arrived at three o’clock. ' He adds: “I had a good sniff of Vesuvius's fumes while the machine bumped about violently. The RAF. here is extremely good. My landing at Rome last night was based on the memory of my landing eight years ago with a Babv Avro. I remembered the aerodrome and the wireless masts, and it gave me a feeling of horror this morning to see more high wireless masts, to which I must have flown close in the darkness.’’
