METEOROLOGICAL EXPERT
VISIT TO NEW ZEALAND SERVICES FOR AIRWAYS [ Per Press Association. 3 WELLINGTON, Nov. 24. Mr. F. Entwistle, of London, arrived by the Wanganella to attend the Meteorological Aviation Conference. He is superintendent of meteorological services for Empire Airways. He travelled as far as Sydney by air in five different machines. He said that whereas the service is now by land ’planes with no night flying, the service to be inaugurated with flying-boats would be night and day. Different routes from the present would be used. All this meant plenty of work for meteorologists, who had to prepare the way for regular flying by establishing new work stations. He said the problems of the Tasman were very similar to those of the north Atlantic, but free from such problems as ice formation on craft. Mr. Entwistle will return to Australia after the conference to confer with the Commonwealth Weather Bureau and then go to Canada to discuss with experts results of flights and observations made.
