BRITISH AIRSHIP
ATLANTIC FLIGHT DELAYED. (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, May 22. Airship'Rloo, which left Cardington last evening, was in the air throughout the night and did not return to her mooring mast until this afternoon. It was anticipated that the vessel on the satisfactory completion of this flight, during which a series of tests have been carried out, would almost immediately sail for Canada in response to the request of the Canadian Department of Defence. However, its departure has been delayed, and the Air Ministry has been requested to arrange that RlOO may arrive in Canada after the close of the Parliamentary session at the end of May, so that the Ministers and others may officially receive the airship on her arrival at Montreal.
