SOUTHERN CROSS
ATLANTIC FLIGHT KINGSFORD SMITH’S PLANS PACIFIC HOP LATER (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright) London, June 1. Interviewed after his arrival at Croydon, Squadron-Leader Kingsford Smith said he was convinced that his dear old bus, the Southern Cross, would not let him down. The monoplane was better than ever. There would be two Britishers, one Dutchman and one Irishman aboard. All were splendid fellows. Thd monoplane would take off from Ireland when the weather was suitable. He estimated that there would be 35 hours’ flying, and they would have three hours’ reserve. Kingsford Smith intends flying from America to Australia in time for his marriage in September. He added: “That will be my greatest and best venture.” Kingsford Smith hopes to take off at the end of June. His destination will be Roosevelt Field, New York, and then to San Francisco, where, upon arrival, he will have completed a world circuit.
