AVIATRIX’S ENGAGEMENT
Miss Aroha Clifford, whose engagement is announced to Mr. A. Brustad, is the youngest daughter of Mr. Walter Clifford, of Fendalton. Miss Clifford, who is known throughout New Zealand as a most competent aviatrix, has interested herself in aviation for many years. She was the first woman member of the Canterbury Aero Club to become a pilot. She is a fullyqualified ground engineer, having recently taken a course in England at the De Havilland works. Miss Clifford has done a considerable amount of flying throughout New Zealand, having on more than one occasion piloted her plane across Cook Strait to traverse the North Island. Miss Clifford owns her own plane, and is the only woman in New Zealand to have a Puss Moth. Miss Clifford is also keenly interfested in mountaineering, having achieved some of the most difficult climbs in the Mount Cook region. Her fiance, Mr. Brustad, is well known among alpinists.
