May 12 report from Trepassey Newfoundland says Commander John H. Towers postpones a hop-off of NC-3 and NC-4 for the Azores due to a late disturbance in the north Atlantic. He prefers not to sacrifice favorable weather and hopes the NC-4 can join before start. Weather tonight suggests continued unfavorable conditions, likely delaying the British aviators Hawker and Rayham.
