Rongotai Airport Unserviceable By Gusty Wind
(PA.) Wellington, Sept. 29. On the first day of Rongotai’s closing as a commercial aerodrome, it was unusable in any case. A 60-mile-an-hour northerly wind today made flying from it unsafe, so that not even a club aircraft could use it. Paraparaumu was not affected
Keiburn Observatory confirmed the strong wind this morning., recording three gusts of over 40 miles an hour and one of 68 miles an hour.
