LOST AVIATORS
PROBABLE MEMORIAL
BEACON AT AUCKLAND
The New Zealand Government considers that the loss of Captain Edwin Musick and his companions should be marked by some form of memorial in the Dominion, the Prime Minister (the Hon. M. J. Savage) said today, and preliminary plans have already been discussed. It is thought probable that the memorial will take the form of a radio beacon for the direction of aircraft arriving at Auckland.
Mr. Savage said he believed there would be a general feeling in favour of a memorial to the men who commenced the first commercial service by air to New Zealand. The suggestion that it should take the form of a beacon had been made and he considered the suggestion was a sound one. Radio beacons were necessary to air services and the dedication of one to the memory of the American airman would make an appropriate memorial.
