NELSON-DUNEDIN

A BUSINESS MAN’S EXPERIENCE BY AIR.

Mr T. B. Nossiter, Director and Representive of Henry Jones Co-Operative, Australia, in New Zealand, who is residing in Nelson returned from a flight to Dunedin and back on Tuesday last, lie left at 7.45 a.m. oil Sunday morning last for Wellington and after a stay of half an hour there re-embarked for Dunedin via Blenheim and Christchurch. The air journey was most pleasant and the varying scenery en route was most enchanting. The Union Airways plane arrived at Dunedin on the tick of 12.37 (the scheduled time) and Mr Nossiter was able to enjoy his lunch at the Grand Hotel after a trip in comfort and ease fiee from the dust and delays ol road transit. He has the distinction of being the first business man to make the air trip to Dunedin and back to Nelson. He reports that both the services are excellent and although the PalmerstonDunedin air liners are more commodious and are four engine planes the NelsonWellington transit with two engines are equally as good in every respect. Having travelled from capital cities in Australia by air Air Nossiter is enabled to draw comparisons and assures New Zealanders that the services they have inaugurated compare more than favourably with similar facilities over there. His trip covered three days out of which he was enabled to spend one day and a half on Lusimss in Dunedin whereas ordinary road and train travel there and back would have taken four whole days. Just imagine -he saving to a business man, lie concludes.
