AVIATION.
PASSENGER’S FATAL FALL. [By Electric Telegraph-—Copyright] [United Press Association.] (Received 1.30 p.m.) Paris, July 2. A military aviator named Bounchardier fell at Epernay and was seriously injured. Captain Reg, a passenger, was killed. NEW ZEALAND UP-TO-DATE. Wellington, July 3. A deputation representative of the newly-formed New Zealand Branch of the Imperial Air League waited on the Minister of Defence, and asked not for monetary assistance but moral support. The deputation emphasised the need for co-ordination of aviation with other sides of defence. The Minister, in a sympathetic reply, mentioned that New Zealand was getting an up-to-date aeroplane, and if there were men in the country expert enough, it would save the Government importing an aviator. Ho thought there was a big field in New Zealand for experimental work with a hydro-aeroplane.
