MRS BERT HINKLER
VISIT TO THE DOMINION,
(Per Press Association — ( cpyright )
AUCKLAND, December 21
“I haven’t gained my pilot’s license yet but I intend to get one as I simply love flying,” said Mrs Bert Hinkler, wife of the famous Australian airman, who arrived at Auckland by the Rangitata this morning. She was met by Mr C. Laycock, representing the Yorkshire Society. Mrs Hinkler said that she intended to stay in New Zealand until she received definite word from her husband, who was setting out on another flight to Australia. She would then go across to Sydney to meet him. He was not out to break the record but he would not “loiter on the way.” She had news yesterday that he had been delayed in order to make some modifications to his machine, a Puss Moth, named Karohi. When he bought the machine in Canada she flew with him to New York. He then crossed the Atlantic by the southern route. Mrs Hinkler said that she was in Australia when her husband made his previous flight from England. She had flown 6000 miles with him, including a flight across Bass strait. Mrs Hinkler is accompanied by her sister, Mrs Vivian.
