HELPING AVIATION BY MEANS OF RADIO.
(“ Special to the “ Star.”) WELLINGTON, December 1. Using the experience of J. W. Stannage on the Atlantic flight •with Kingsford-Smith as an example of the value of wireless in aviation, the director of air services, Wing-Commander GrantDalton spoke at the Aero Club’s dinner on Friday night of posible future developments in this way in New Zealand. He stated that he had asked the Government if it were going to give any money to commercial aviation to spend it on wireless and in night landing equipment. He hoped to have wireless direction posts as far east and west as possible, for example New Plymouth and Hastings. The idea was that machines might fly, despite weather and link up the whole of the Dominion.
