HOOD-MONCRIEFF PLANE?
PIECE OF WING FOUND AT CAPE BANKS TRAGIC VENTURE RECALLED Reed. 10 a.m. ADELAIDE, Today. A fisherman named Taylor found a portion of an airplane wing on the rocks near Cape Banks lighthouse. Speculation is rife as to whether it formed part of the machine in which Captain G. Hood and Lieutenant J. L. Moncrieff attempted their flight across the Tasman to New Zealand in January last year. The direction of the ocean currents along the south coast is from west to east.
