Argus To Land At Rongotai (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, Sept. 16. A Royal Canadian Air Force Argus will land at Wellington airport on Friday week. The Argus will be the largest aircraft to have used the airport. Originally scheduled to have taken part in the pageant celebrating the opening of the airport next month, the Argus and a sister aircraft will fly to New Zealand next week to fit in with an appearance in Queensland. They will not return for the pageant. The two maritime reconnaissance aircraft will leave Amberley, Australia, for Auckland on Wednesday. They will exercise with the Royal New Zealand Navy on Thursday and fly south the next day. One aircraft will fly to Ohakea, the other to Wellington.
