Famous Thermos Flask
N echo of the last ocean flight of the Southern Cross occurs in the news which has just reached, John Stannage, station director of 3ZB, Christchurch. Mr. Stannage was radio telegraphist on the flight in which Captain P. G. Taylor saved both the Southern Cross and its crew by his gallant action. The metal shell of the thermos flask used by Captain Taylor to convey oil from the Starboard motor of the-crippled ’plane has been lost for nearly 10 years, though souvenir hunters searched everywhere for it. Now it has been discovered beneath the boards of the pilot’s cockpit during the overhaul of the old machine for its motion picture appearance.
