PRAISE FOR AERODROME.
NELSON'S LANDING GROUND. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) NELSON", Saturday. Interviewed regarding the near approach of the completion of Nelson aerodrome, Captain G. B. Bolt, chief pilot and technical adviser of the Cook Strait Airways, said there was absolutely no doubt that the new aerodrome would be 100 per cent, so far as weather was concerned.
It would be not only the best aerodrome in the central area from New Plymouth to Christchurch, but from a pilot's point of view there were no obstacles, and it was very "getatable" from all angles. It could be approached from the sea, and was at the head of a large wide plain. Captain Bolt said that in his opinion its central situation and the advantages he had enumerated would ensure the Nelson 'drome being well in the picture so far as the trans-Tasman terminus was concerned. Local opinion is that the 'drome is of great importance, strategically situated as it is at the head of the large bay.
