TASMAN AIR SERVICE
ALL-WEATHER FLYING POSSIBLE N.S.W. METEOROLOGIST’S VIEWS (XTNTTED PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.) (Received August 21, 11 p.m.) SYDNEY, August 21. Discussing the forthcoming transTasman flying-boat service to-day, Mr D. J. Mares, Government meteorologist, said that efficient meteorological facilities would be operating for the inauguration of the service in October. He was convinced that the machines would be able to run to schedule throughout most of the year, as they would be able to fly high enough to miss most bad weather. Mr Mares added that there would be complete co-ordination between the meteorological stations and the Rose Bay terminal base which would provide a 24-hour forecasting service supplementing the radio service while the machines were flying to and from New Zealand.
