FIFTY ’PLANES
Dominion Registrations More than fifty civil aircraft have been registered in New Zealand to date. Though all have not yet arrived in the Dominion, the next machine registered will be known as ZK-AGA. The machine which marked the first half-century reached by the air fleet of this country is* the Desoutter which Squadronleader G. A C. Cowper recently took from Christchurch to Hamilton for Bryant House Airways, and the latest is a Simmonds Spartan registered by the Canadian Knight and Whippet Company, which is the fifty-second machine. Though some of those on the list have been crashed, an analysis of the registrations shows the various types of machine are represented in the following numbers: — De Havilland Moth, 34; Simmonds Spartan, 8: Avro Avian. 4; Desoutter, 2; Dornier . Libelle, 1; Cutty Sark, 1; Blackburn Bluebird, 1; Monocoupe, 1. _____
