Wigram Aerodrome
Sir. —Quiet is essential for; health, study, and the develop- • ment of the mind. Yet over our; j schools, offices, houses, convales-1 'cent homes, garden reserves, etc..j jthe ancient Harvard fighter plane; j still thunders and shatters the; very air day and night. Per-j sonnel of three forces will be I submariners, helicoptered infantrymen, and rocket men. The
Air Force, as at present constituted. might just as well pack up gracefully. The maintenance of Havards by a large staff, civilians included, plus a big fleet of motor vehicles, reinforced from Taieri, is just as stupid and objectionable to our welfare as if the Navy trained in windjammers in the harbour or the Army with cavalry in the park.—Yours, etc., ROUNDELISED. November 12, 1958.
