FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA
CAPTAIN HURLEY’S MEN ENTERTAINED IN LONDON (United. P~A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.30 a.m. LONDON. Friday. After long negotiations with British manufacturers, Flying-Officers Moir and Owen have been successful in obtaining an all-British machine in which to fly back to Australia. Details regarding the machine have not at present been disclosed, but the airmen expect to leave for Australia as soon as possible. Last evening they were the guests of the Master of Semphill at the Royal Aeronautical Society’s dinner, where they were given the seats of honour and congratulated by both their host and Air-Marshal Sir Sefton Braucker, both of whom pointed out that they regarded their flight with Captain Frank Hurley as far as Greece as a most remarkable effort. The Master of Semphill said that far too little had been seen or heard of Flying-Officers Moir and Owen since they arrived in England. Airmen generally were keenly interested in the return flight. To-day the airmen were the guests of Sir Sefton Brancker, at a luncheon at the Army and Navy Club, when prominent Air Ministry officials were present.
