MILES HAWK ARRIVES
Wellington’s New Plane
CLUB’S RANGE OF CRAFT
Piloted by Squadron Leader G. L. Stedman, the club’s pilot instructor, tlie* Miles Hawk aeroplane, flown by McGregor and "Walker in the centenary air race, arrived at Rongotai from Palmerston North at 5.45 p.m. yesterday, to join the fleet of the Wellington Aero Club. With the entry number “2” still in the rudder, a silent reminder of the part which the machine took in that great contest, the trim little low-wing monoplane will be used for advanced training work. The club’s fleet now numbers six machines, and offers more varied flying facilities than does any other club in the Dominion. Three Gipsy Moths are available for tuition and ordinary club flying. A Gipsy Major for more advanced work and aerobatics, the Miles Hawk for the more experienced pilots to fly, and the Waco for commercial and ambulance flights.
