CANCELLED FLIGHT.
Explanation by Airways Organiser. Per Presp Association AUCKLAND. May 7. In regard to the cablegram from Sydnew concerning the Codock plane, the organiser of Dominion Airways. Ltd (Mr Withers), said he believed that it was sent under a misunderstanding. There was never any intention to prohibit the flight, but. as announced by Sir Charles Kingsford Smith on Saturday, the flight had been cancelled owing to Sir Charles’s departure for America, and also to the fact that the New Zealand summer was over and the joy-riding tour which, it had been proposed, should follow the Tasman flight, would be unprofitable. Mr Withers said there had not at any time been any question of the suitability of the plane or pilot for the flight.
