OVER DUNEDIN
Conditions were ideal for observing the Royal Air Force Lancaster bomber as is encircled the city yesterday afternoon. The giant machine made its appearance shortly after 3 o'clock and, after making a complete circuit of the city and suburbs, banked* steeply over the head of the harbour, turned,, and passed over the hill suburbs, then proceeded up North-east Valley and finally disappeared from view beyond Mount Cargill. The bomber flew at a comparatively low altitude so that people on the ground were able to obtain an excellent view of it, also to realise to some faint extent the grand sight which a thousand or more of these and similar machines in the air together must present, and the appalling noise which would be caused by such a moving mass.
