Aviation has obviously a great deal to offer New Zealand. Recent flights have done much to stimulate public interest and enthusiasm, arid this will doubtless lead, as indeed in the national interest it is essential it should, io progressive development of flying. The question immediately arises as to where our budding aviators can land and park when visiting other centres, as they very naturally will wish to do. On the successful answer to this question depends the extent of development possible in private aviation in Now Zealand. The problem requires to be handled with energy and vision, and the practical proposals of the Auckland Aero Club to acquire and equip a permanent aerodrome, as a contribution to a. national need, should therefore be of interest to every believer in the future of air travel. It is hoped by the promoters that sufficient funds may be realised as a result of the art union sanctioned by the Government, and now in progress, to carry out the project in Auckland.
