NEW TRANS-TASMAN AIRCRAFT.—This photograph shows the latest Lockheed Electra aircraft in flight. Three of these machines have been ordered by T.E.A.L. for trans-Tasman service. The aircraft is able to carry a mixed seating total of 80 passengers (37 first-class and 43 tourist-class) together with 2500lb of cargo. The width of the interior ensures that the five-abreast seating arrangement for tourist-class can be accomplished with a comfortable seat width and passage-way allowance. By the time the first Electra is delivered to T.E.A.L., about 110 of these aircraft will have entered service with at least 12 airlines in various parts of the world.
