START AT 3.30 A.M.
Favourable Weather Over Europe Expected. British Official Wireless. (Received October 19, 12.50 p.m.) RUGBY, October 18. The competing machines in the Eng-land-Melbourne air race will be taken from their hangars at Mildenhall on Saturday one hour before the first plane is signalled off at 3.30 am. Only bad visibility, or fog, will delay the start of the race. If the weather conditions are such that none of the planes has been sent off by 10 a.m. on Saturday morning it is likely that the start may be postponed until Sunday, as all the com-
petitors are anxious to have as much daylight fl\*ing as possible for their first hop. At present, however, there is every prospect of favourable weather over Europe on Saturday.
