LONG-DISTANCE FLIGHT.

INVERCARGILL TO AUCKLAND. TO STOP AT HAWERA. Captain Fowler, one of the Canterbury Aviation Company’s pilots stationed at Invercargill, is waiting for favorable weather bulletins to undertake the most ambitious flight yet attempted in Nev/ Zealand. It is his intention to fly from Invercargill to Auckland in a single day. The journey will be made in four stages. Leaving the West Plains aerodrome at daybreak, the first stop will be at Timaru and the next at Kaikoura, whence a course will be set for Hawera. Between Rawera and Auckland, the longest stage, there will be no stop. Captain Fowler will be accompanied by a pilot and passenger. He expects to cover the journey in 12 hours’ flying time, so that the landing at Auckland will be effected in daylight.

The machine to be used is an Avro. The flight was to have been made last week, but on the day fixed the Dominion meteorologist advised against it, and a similar reason caused a second postponement.
