N.A.C. PATTERN CUT BY MOWER
Outline Seen From Airline Viscount
'New Zealand Press Association) NELSON, November 15.
Sitting on his mower cutting grass for silage during the recent warm spring days, Brian Neame, a member of the Wakefield Young Farmers’ Club, has watched for the Viscount aircraft, glinting in the sunshine 20.000 feet overhead, on its daily flight from Christchurch to Auckland.
When his boss asked one day for 20 loads of grass from any part of a seven-acre paddock he had the aircraft in mind as he cut a large pattern of the letters “N A C” and framed them with a wide strip. He sent a telegram to the Viscount captain. Captain J. H. Register, of Christchurch, giving a ty—ring on his mowing, promptly came a reply from Whenuapai: “Letters visible 20.500 feet—Register, Viscount 163.” .
