In a report to the executive of the Hawera Aero Club, the secretary, Mr W. J. Heslop, said that representatives of Union Airways had given him definite assurance that Wanganui and Hawera were being kept in the foreground as stopping places in the North Island service, or at any rate, as calls in a feeder service to link them with Palmerston North or New Plymouth. Such a' service was definitely being formulated at the present time, but a factor to be considered was the supply of the necessary machines from England. The company had to co-operate with the Government in this connection and could give no reliable indication about when the service might be inaugurated. He had gathered, however, that it would not be long before some arrangement would be possible, concluded Mr Heslop. The Wanganui Aero Club has made representations to have Wanganui included in a feeder service, but has received no information of Union Airways’ plans.
