VICTORY FLIGHTS
Spitfires And Mosquitoes (N.Z.P.A.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 25. In the House of Representatives this afternoon. Mr H. T. Morton (National, Waitematai gave notice to ask the Minister of Defence to arrange for a victory flight consisting of three Spitfires and three Mosquitoes from England to New Zealand, each machine to be flown by a New Zealand pilot. Mr Morton said there were thousands of these —the world's finest aeroplanes —in England and the Mediterranean. The British Government, it was felt, would gladly make available six of these planes in order that the people of New Zealand might have the opportunity of seeing the planes that had sc materially helped to win the war flown out, as they would be the world's finest.
