PRINCE BUYS AIRPLANE
TWO-SEATER GIPSY MOTH FANCIED FOR PRIVATE FLIGHTS (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Wednesday. Definite proof of the enthusiasm of the Prince of Wales for flying is his purchase of a two-seater Gipsy Moth with a cruising speed of 85 to 90 miles an hour. The machine has been provided with dual controls in order that his Royal Highness may handle it in the air. The Moth will be able to land in a small field. • It is stated that the ' Prince was anxious to own an airplane for private flights. He hesitates to use a Koyal Air Force machine’ which has been placed at his disposal except for definitely public engagements.
