SIR ALAN COBHAM FLYING WITH HIS WE TO WASHINGTON By Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright. Australian and New Zealand Cable Association. (Received December 2, Q-5 p.m.) NEW YORK, December 1. Sir Alan Cobham and Lady Cobham will fly to Washington to-morrow in a Moth plane.
They will be presented to President Coolidge at the British Embassy by the officials of the National Geographic Society. At a luncheon given by the Advertising Club, Sir Alan Cobham was the guest of honour. He said: "We’ve got to knock the ‘stunt’ out of flying.
