SERVICE AIRCRAFT
SLOTTED WING DEVICE
GOOD BARGAIN FOR N.Z
(Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day.
It is officially explained that the New Zealand Government paid a lump sum of £5500 for the right to use the Handley-Page slotted wing device on all service aircraft in the Dominion. The right to use the device will be held for 10 years. The agreement is considered to be a very good bargain. In view of the number of aircraft to be equipped in New Zealand, not only will the purchase money be made up, but there will be a substantial saving besides. More than half the cost will bo saved within two years, while later, under the projected scheme of extension, the saving will be greater still.
