AIRSHIP MISSION’S SEARCH CHIEF MAY FLY SOUTH Though the movements of the Airship Mission largely depend on developments in Auckland—and that is largely in the lap of the weather gods—there is a possibility of Group-Captain Feliowes, Chief of the Mission, going south with Captain Findlay by airplane. Owing to the continual rains it has not been possible to use the plane flown from the Wigram Military Airdrome specially for the survey of the land about Auckland. But Captain Feliowes stated this morning that it might be possible to ihse the plane this afternoon if the weather cleared sufficiently. Mr. M. A. Giblett, M.Sc., meteorologist with the Mission, left for Wellington last evening to discuss the questions of wind currents and weather conditions with the Government Meteorological Office. It is necessary to have comprehensive data on the strength and prevalence of winds at possible sites. Such experiments have been carried out during the past year by the Christchurch Magnetic Observatory and the Wigram Airdrome authorities.
