CHICHESTER'S PLANS
NEW ROUTE TO ENGLAND. AIRMAN REFUSES TO SAY'. “THE PROVERBIAL OYSTER.” SYDNEY, June 20. The Labour Daily says that, although Mr Chichester will neither confirm nor deny the report, it was learnt yesterday that he intended to open up a new field of aviation by flying from Australia to England via Dutch New Guinea. Interviewed, the New Zealand airman said that he had made no final arrangements for any flight. Asked if there was any truth in the suggestion that he would fly over New Guinea, he replied: “If you say so it must be true.” It is known'that Mr Chichester has been in close consultation with Sydney officials regarding his next flight, and according to a Sydney firm, the matter will in all probability be finalised today. The Labour Daily newspaper adds: .4s a subject for interview, the Dominion aviator can certainly be likened unto the proverbial oyster.”
