REPEATING his previous performance, Mr. S. D. Marshall, engineer, flew solo from N.G. to Australia in August.

From Morobe he went to Pt. Moresby (Papua), and left there on Aug. 22 for Cape York (Nth. Queensland). Flying in easy stages he reached Sydney on September 3.

The Westland Widgeon is a light plane powered by a motor of only 85 h.p. It has a cruising speed of 75 m.p.h.

Mr. Marshall, who has been in N.G. for five years, received much praise for his hazardous flight.
