C. "MacDonaid, Eng lish aviator, took off from Harbor Grace today in a Moth-type airplane in an attempt to fly across the At- lantic ocean to England. Flight Commander MacDonald ar- rived from England with his Ha: land Gypsy Moth plane on Septem- ber 26, with the announced inten- tion of attempting a transatlantic flight from Harbor Grace. Four days later he said he would e off October 2, if weather con- itions permitted. MacDonald, who is 28 years old, came to Newfoundland about three weeks ago and began assembling his plane in ieee for the at- tempt. Although he said he had only 80 hours of flying, he was con- fident that he could make the flight alone in the small plane. for Hunch is arrival ‘here the young English flyer has been awaiting fa- le weather conditions. He had d that he would not take off until he had a “hunch” that every- thing was right. MacDonald ing was assisted in preparing for the flight by A.

His little plane left the ground at the Harbor Grace airport at 11:51, eastern standard time. The plane carried 100 gallon: of fuel, which Commander MacDonald was confident would be more than enough to carry him to England. He expressed confidence that his ex- perience as a navigator, gained dur- ing his naval career, would make it possible for him to pick his way over the Atlantic to his destination with- out difficulty.
