Seven Miles In 50 Minutes
(N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Nov. 3.
The balloon brought to New Zealand by two Germans, Messrs J. Scheer and A. Schultz, flew from Newtown Park to Gollans Valley today, a distance of 7 miles, in 50 minutes.
The balloon carried three persons and was filled with 24,500 cubic feet of hydrogen.
Must have been a northerly! They were lucky or planned the day well enough that they didn’t get blown out to sea!
