Standardising On Fokkers

THE Pacific Aerial Transport Co., which has been conducting a fly ing service on the New Guinea gold fields for some months, intends to standarise with Fokker planes.

Mr. E. C. N. Helton, a director of this transport company, who is at pre sent in Sydney, told a representative of The Pacific Islands Monthly that the new Fokker arrived in Port Moresby on July 17, and it was expected that it would make its initial flight about August 17.

It is of the single-engined type, with a Bristol-Jupiter engine. The mach ine has accommodation for ten pas sengers and is capable of a 11-ton lift.

An order has been already placed for another Fokker of a similar type.

Messrs. Parer, Ross and Shoppe are the pilots for this company.
