WAIRARAPA AERODROME
■OPENING AT MARTINBOROUGH.
By Telegraph. —Press Association.
Masterton, Last Night.
The Martinborough aerodrome, the first to be licensed in the Wairarapa, was officially opened to-day by the Mayor (Mr. W. B. Martin) in the presence of the Director of Air Services (Wing-Commander Grant-Dalton), and a large attendance of aero club members and the public. An interesting event of the day was the passing of flying tests by the first amateur pilot to qualify in the Wairarapa, A. B. Jury. Wing-Commander Grant-Dalton said that though the Wairarapa club was promised recognition it would not be approved until it had employed a separate ground engineer and satisfied other detail requirements. The Martinborough ground has a hangar capable of holding two planes. It is hoped shortly to open grounds in other parts of the district. A hangar on a temporary ground near Masterton is to be built shortly. .
