An aerial survey of the fishing grounds of Manawatu Heads, Foxton, has been made by Mr Madge in a Commercial Airways Simmonds Spartan machine, piloted by Lieutenant J. Buckeridge. The machine flew four or five miles out to sea and covered a strip down the coast. ’ Although conditions were not altogether favourable, an excellent view was gained from a height of 7000 ft, and Mr Madge was able to learn much about the drift of currents and was able to pick out snags and shallows.
