EXPENSE TOO GREAT.
New Zealander’s Flight From Africa. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON. This Day. Flying-Officer Jerman arrived by' the Monowai from Sydney. He gave as his reason for the abandonment of his projected flight from Khartoum, Africa, to Australia, that the Customs requirements and expense were too big a hurdle. Consequently' he had flown to Port Said and shipped his machine from there. He is an old boy of Wellington College and is attached to the 47th Bombing Squadron at Khartoum. He is in New Zealand on furlough and this is his first trip home since joining the R.A.F. five y’ears ago. He intends to do some flying here, but says, more than anything else, he wants to sell his machine, an Avro-Avian. Fh'ing-Officer Lovell-Gregg, of Picton, also arrived by the Monowai to spend six weeks in New Zealand btefore proceeding to England for further service in the R.A.F.
