Boston Grill Big Yellow Plane On Way Today From Ottawa to Pacific Coast and May Come to Prince Rvpert Squadron Leader Godfrey Piloting Seaplane on Long Flight Across Country Makes Thrilling Takeoff This Morning OTTAWA, September 6. Squadron Leader A. E. Godfrey, staff officer of the local Canadian air force, with Sergeant Major M. Graham, mechanic, took off at seven-o'clock this morning on the longest. cross-country seaplane flight ever attempted, with one scheduled stop between here and Vancouver and with Prince Rupert as an alternative if conditions prove unfavorable for the southerly route. The flyers plan to spend the night at Lac Dubonnet should they meet adverse winds. Following the jump of six thousand miles, a jaunt j will be made back across Canada in easy stages. i The takeoff of the great yellow ship from Shirley's' Bay, west of Ottawa, loaded with 390 gallons of gasoline,1 a sack of mail addressed to Vancouver and the flyers' j baggage, was one of the most thrilling ever seen here. Taxiing for nearly two miles down Lake Deschenes, the I plane turned round and faced against a slight breeze which was pushing a light haze across the lake but was unable to make sufficient headway to lift her off the water. j The pilot turned again and Squadron Leader R. S. Grandy with others in a motorboat raced across the path of the onrushing machine. The launch left a swell riding , high which caught the front of the tioats, tilting tnem back and lifting the ship on to the "step" or lower part of the float. With a tremendous roar the Wasp engine lifted the machine a few feet. The pilot levelled off to gain speed and then ascended gradually until as she was passing out of sight it was 500 feet up. The morning was perfect. The plane will follow the natural waterways, continuing up the Ottawa River to Lake Nipissing, thence to Sudbury. It will then take the Canadian National line toward La Dubonnet across LaKe Winnipeg aim iu v,ui- morant Lake. Tomorrow, if conditions are favorable, the Saskatchewan River will be followed toward Prince Albert, Battleford, Edmonton, and Jasper. It is intended to penetrate the Rockies to Yellow-head Pass, then over Kamloops and along the Fraser River to Vancouver. , , . If the weather is unfavorable, the northerly L. route Prince Rupert will be chosen. The flight is of an exploratory nature. Before return a tour of the coast will be made. Squadron Leader Earl Godfrey was in charge at Vancouver when the fisheries .patrol was first established in these waters and he' made frequent visits ref(?n connection with that work.
