OBSOLETE ’PLANES
A USE FOUND FOR THEM By Telegraph—Presf Association WELLINGTON, November 27. Four Bristol fighters of the Royal New Zealand Air Force which have been in service at Wigram Aerodrome, Christchurch, since about 1927, but are now obsolescent, are to be used for ground training. One is being made available to the Palmerston North Technical College for use in instruction on engines and frames, and another has been handed over to the Wellington Aero Club which will probably lend it to the Dominion School of Aeronautics at Wellington. Two others will be retained by the Air Force for instructing junior members of the ground staff at Wigram. A condition of the gifts is that they be used only for ground training.
