His firm recently purchased Han worth aerodrome, near London, and Mr. Armstrong is arranging to acquire New England Airways, which runs a service betweon Sydney and Brisbane. The company plans to replace the existing aeroplanes with faster types, and to establish feeder line services on which small, fast aeroplanes will fly. An order has been placed for 10 Monospar machines for the feeder lines.
