Southern Cross May Fly Again
(Rec. 8 p.m.) MELBOURNE, April 30 The first aircraft to cross the Tasman to New Zealand—the 33-year-old Southern Cross—may soon fly again. The Director-General of Civil Aviation (Mr D. G. Anderson) said last night that Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith’s "Old Bus” would be allowed to fly from Sydney to Brisbane if it were still airworthy. One of the world’s most famous aircraft, the tri-motor Fokker, in which he was the first to fly the Pacific and to carry air mail from Britain to Australia, is to be taken to Brisbane. At Brisbane it will be placed in a special glass-sided memorial building at Eagle Farm Airport.
