MOSQUITO BOMBER
PROPOSED VISIT TO N.Z.
THE REASON FOR THE DELAY Parliamentary Reporter WELLINGTON, this day. The opportunity which had been arranged for the people of New Zealand to see Great Britain's most famous utility service aircraft, the Mosquito, has been postponed as the result of the end of the war with Japan. It was announced a week ago that two distinguished New Zealand airmen, Squadron-Leader K. 0. S. Newman, D.F.C. and bar, of Broadwood, Hokianga, North Auckland, and Wing - Commander T. de Lange, D.F.C, of Auckland, as pilot and navigator respectively, would fly a Mosquito of the latest operational type from India to New Zealand and would exhibit it in a flight throughout the Dominion. Because of Japan's capitulation, the trip is considered inadvisable in the meantime, but it is hoped it will be made as soon as conditions permit.
