Australians in R101,
Trial Flights to India Soon,
LONDON, Nov. 15
Squadron-Leader H. N. Wrigley and Flight-Lieutenant C. J. Harman, of Aus- tralia, had a three hours' fligh in the air
ship R101. They described the flight as highly successful and enjoyable.
It is understood that there is no possi- bility of a flight to Australia being made by theairship until there have been trial flights to India at the end of the year. It is intended to study, tropical influ- ences. If those trial flights give satisfac tory results Australia will be urged to ex- pedite the erection of a mooring mast.
