While a Bristol Fighter 'plane flew over Rakaia on Thursday, one of its occupants talked to members of tho Air Force staff at Wigram Airdrome. Tests were being made of radio telephone, instruments, which worked very efficiently up to a distance of more than 40 miles, the limit of the day’s tests. The pilot of the ’plane which was used in the tests was Flying Officer E. Olsen, N.Z.P.A.F. The distance over which signals were exchanged probably constitutes a record for New Zealand, ns the Southern Cross, in tests which it made while in the Dominion, used Morse code, not. telephone.
