Taken For A Ride
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)
SYDNEY. There are many ways of getting to tennis matches, but one of the most unusual was found by an Auckland businessman, Mr N. Fairlie, He watched his son, Brian, play in the Australian junior hardcourt singles, in Sydney, and then flew home—or intended to. But his aircraft was unable to land at Auckland, flew to Wellington, where
the weather was worse, and then headed back across the Tasman to Sydney. By this time, Mascot airport was closed also and the alternative port was Brisbane, where they finally touched down. So Mr Fairlie thought, having been landed in Brisbane, he might as well stay and have a look at the Queensland championships—where Brian yesterday reached the junior singles final.
