Rec. June 6, 7.10 p.m. SYDNEY, Monday. An Australian made Jones monoplane, pilbted by Roy Mitchell with the owner, Mr. L. R. Jones, as a passenger, left Baker's Hill near Windsor, yesterday, ostensibly for a flight to Bourke and back. They were expected home at midnight, but they have not been seen since. The owner of the park from which they left, stated to-day that for all he knew they might have gone to New Zealand, but Mitchell's family thought it likely that an accident may have forced the plane down in an isolated part. The 'plane is loeally made, and had not been submitted to the Air Department for a certificate of airworthiness.
