Summary

Photograph of post card depicting Basil G. Watson with words stating "Mount Gambier 14th February 1917. Today we witnessed with many hundreds of others MG Basil Watson's flight in own built machine. The performance was held at Mount Gambier race course. The day was very wet which made the outing very unpleasant. The aviator was often lost in the low clouds. This is the first flight at the Mount. This card will be leaving here tomorrow (Thurs) to be carried by aeroplane to Melbourne. Heavy thunderstorm set in upon return from flight."
