Aucklander Aloft for Quarter-Hour
Telegraph-
AUCKLAND, Last Ninht. Soaring to a height of 200 feet above his take.off point in a Waco glider, and remaining in the air for 15 minutes. 25 seconds, Mr W. H. Lamond, a member of the Auckland Glidmg Club, yesterday made what is claimed to be a record for New Zealand. Experts who viewed the performance, which was mado in a primary type of machine, regard it as a feat of rare merit and comparable in skill with the flights of 40 hours and moro in Germany with th'e most modern type of soaring machine, which is much lighter and more delicately responsive to upward air currents.
