Missing Model Aeroplanes Two gas-powered model aeroplanes have been lost by members of the Christchurch Model Aeroplane Club recently on flights *rom the air radio station, about a mile west of the Harewood aerodrome. One of the machines has a wing span of sft and the span of the other is about sft 6in. One of the models is thought to be from three to six miles west of the radio station and the other was last seen travelling a few miles from the station towards Yaldhurst and Courtenay. This type of machine, which is valued at £l2 or £l5, travels about 60 miles an hour. Pilots of the Canterbury Aero Club have been asked to keep a look-out for the machines, and anyone else finding one is asked to get in touch with the Aero Club.
