Young Airman Menzies Flies Tasman Sea Mission
Sydney trained pilot Menzies completed a perilous 1190 mile cruise across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand in about 12 hours and landed at Harihari after fuel ran low. He forced a landing on swampy Wanganu River bed, escaped unharmed, and traveled to Hokitika. The Southern Cross Junior aircraft, similar to Kingsford Smith’s record plane, carried the feat.
