NAVAL INSPECTION BY FARM TRACTOR.—Commodore J. O’C. Ross (second from right) riding on a tractor trailer during his recent visit to the Whangarei district to inspect the work of the naval survey ship Lachlan. The Lachlan has two mobile navigational aids which work from the shore and whose small staff live in caravans. One of these is at Ocean Bay (about 25 miles from Whangarei); and to reach it Commodore Ross travelled on a tractor trailer as the guest of a local farmer. With him, from left, are Commander W. J. L. Smith, Commander M. J. McDowell, and Lieutenant-Commander I. S. Monro.
