AVIATION.

(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) A COMING FLIGHT. LONDON, Oct. 5. Daniel’s Moth plan will shortly be shipped to Australia and will fly to Wilcannia in February. DUTCH FLIGHT. AMSTERDAM, Oct. 5. Aviation circles are most impressed by a remarkable flight made by Flying Officer Ivoppen, accompanied by Pilot Fryne, and Mechanic Elerman, who have arrived at Karachi, after three days’ flying from Amsterdam. They will continue their flight to Java.

It is suggested this flight opens up possibilities for Australian planes picking up mails at Java, thereby reducing the mails from England to ten days.

ATLANTIC FLIGHT. LISBON, Oct. <5. The Junker’s aeroplane has made a forced landing on the beach at Santa Cruz, near Torres Yedras. Wireless appeals for help were picked up, and the cruiser Vasco da Gama has gone to the plane’s assistance. LONDON, Oct. G. Another report from Lisbon states that the Junker’s plane fell into the sea, and that a warship is searching for it. LEVINE’S BIRTHDAY GIFT. ROME, Oct. 5. Near Mussolini’s villa at Romanga, Levine, a passenger by the airliner to Vienna, dropped a watch as a birth, day gift to the baby Romano. The parachute fell on some telephone wires. The packet was delivered at the Villa.
