HINKLER AND THE MOTH
‘There was a dramatic interruption at 40G, Brisbane, during the time Licutenant Bert. Hinkler was speaking, some few nights ago. A moth, attracted by the bright valves, crossed a safety gap, and short-cirenited the high tension supply. ‘The station was off the air for a few moments, and the director of the station explained to Mr. Hinkler what lad happened. When the station was started up again, and the microphone was switched on, Hinkle remarked that he did not intend to.say much about that moth, but could not help remarking that an Ayro-Avian had much better habits, and weuld not haye done a thing like that. ‘The secret of the joke lies, of course, in the fact that the ‘‘Moth" is another type of light aeroplate, a cotitemporary of the Avyro-Ayian.
