PLANES ALOFT

BUCKLEY LEAVES BLENHEIM FINDLAY FLYING TO TRENTHAM Press Association BLENHEIM, To-day. Captain Buckley left Blenheim at 10.42 this morning to carry out a search over prearranged patrol. Poor visibility up to that hour delayed his departure. It is not altogether certain that conditions over the route will favour the search, and the plane may return at any time. If the visibility is satisfactory the period of the cruise will probably be four hours, after which time the plane will return to Blenheim. Captain Findlay, in DHSO survey

there about 1.30. After refuelling hj will begin a search of the West Coa» of the North Island. WELLINGTON, To-day. To-day Captain Findlay made a per feet landing at Trentham at 1.30.
