New Plane To Replace Crashed Aircraft
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, November 28. Straits Air Freight Express, Ltd., of Wellington, one of whose aircraft crashed at Christchurch a week ago, has announced that it has been offered and had accepted, a new Mark 31 Bristol Freighter aircraft, which would restore its fleet to three. The new aircraft, which is of the same type and mark as the two now operating, will be delivered “as soon as possible.” It is hoped a United Kingdom crew will fly the aircraft to New Zealand, reaching here before Christmas.
