ELECTRA RETURNS
Trouble In Engine (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, March 20. The pilot of an Air New Zealand jet-prop Electra bound for Brisbane, feathered one propeller on the aircraft and returned today when the engine began revving irregularly about an hour out from Auckland. The aircraft, carrying 76 passengers, arrived back at Auckland about 1.30 p.m., two hours and a half after leaving the airport. Ground crews replaced the faulty propeller and the Electra took off again for Brisbane at 9 p.m.
