RONGOTAI AERODROME SITE,

The aerodrome there has wind-recording instruments and Its daily ciiarts often show a run of wind greatly in exccss of that recorded at Kelburn, where the official meteorological records are taken. For instance, yesterday week, when a southerly reached Wellington about 0.40 a.m., somewhat suddenly, a number of gusts- at Rongctai readied 00 miles an hour. The gale reached its maximum force at 12.45, wlien a gust or 74 miles an hour was recorded. Needless to say there was not much flying.
