KUAKA’S FAST AND COMFORTABLE TRIP
LSpecial to “Northern Advocate”! AUCKLAND, This Day. The Union Airways monoplane Kuaka, which left Auckland for Wellington about 9.15 o’clock on Saturday morning, returned to Mangere Aerodrome shortly before 3.30 in the afternoon, having flown 650 miles in a little over six hours. The actual flying time was considerably less, 45 minutes being spent at Rongotai, 10 minutes at Palmerston North and 45 minutes at New Plymouth. Comfort And Speed.
Passengers were amazed at the comfort and speed of the Kuaka which, with her sister ship, the Kotare, is the fastest aeroplane ever seen in
New Zealand. f Yesterday the Kuaka took three hours'to return to Wellington.
