Flight. From India To Dominion (N.Z.P.A.) WELLINGTON. Aug. 24. Arrangements which had been made for New Zealanders to see Britain’s most famous utility service aircraft — the Mosquito, have been postponed as one minor consequence of the end of hostilities in the Far East. It was announced a week ago that two distinguished New Zealand airmen, Squadron Leader K. O. S. Newman, D.F.C. and Bar. of Hokianga, and Wing Commander T. de Lange, D.F.C., of Auckland, as pilot and navigator respectively, would fly the latest operational type of Mosquito from India to New Zealand and exhibit it in a flight throughout the Dominion. Circumstances arising- from Japan's capitulation have made the trip inadvisable in the meantime, but it is hoped that it will be made as soon as conditions allow'.
