LEFT FOR SOUTH TO-DAY.
STRONG WESTERLY GALE BLOWING.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
WANGANUI, this day.
The airmen left Westmere at 11.5 a.m. to-day for Blenheim. The weather was very boisterous and a strong westerly gale was blowing. About 3000 people journeyed to the racecourse to witness the take-off, which was successfully accomplished in spite of a shifty wind, which blew with great force at times.
The ’planes circled over the city before heading south.
