OXFORD BOMBER
FOURTH ARRIVES AT AUCKLAND 'United Press Association) AUCKLAND, 24th November. The fourth of the five Airspeed Oxford monoplanes acquired for the Royal New Zealand Air Force has arrived at Auckland in the Port Huon, and it will be unloaded to-morrow and conveyed by barge to the Hobsonville air base for assembly and testing. The work at Hobsonville will take about six days, and the machine will then be flown to Wigram Aerodrome, where the three other Oxfords of the order are now in service. The latest to arrive is intended, like the others at Wigram, for bombing. The fifth Oxford is due to arrive at Auckland before Christmas, and it is to be equipped for air reconnaissance and photographic work.
