Tasman Flight Plan
AIRMAN WITHDRAWS “TOO MUCH INTERFERENCE” By Cable.—Press Association.—-Copyright Reed. 10.50 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. Mr. O. Jolley has announced that he has decided to go no further with the proposed flight across the Tasman Sea with Captain P. Moody, stating that Government and Departmental opposition and interference had forced him to this decision. In a letter to Colonel Brinsmead, Director of Civil Aviation, Mr. Jolley stated that although money was in hand to complete the purchase of the monoplane at present in Sydney, the position had become intolerable as a result of the attitude of the Government and Colonel Brinsmead’s department. It has been decided to return the money to the subscribers rather than ask them to risk a big expenditure jn the face of official threats to prevent the flight at all costs.—-A. and N.Z.
