Dredge Part Weighing Three Tons

ADVICE has been received by Guinea Airways Ltd., Adelaide, that one of the G31 aeroplanes belonging to Bulolo Gold Dredging Ltd., operated by Guinea Airways, transported in one flight the upper tumbler shaft of No. 1 Bulolo Dredge without the least difficulty, from the coast to the Bulolo Goldfields, New Guinea.

This single part of the dredge, weighing 6,870 lbs., was considered to be the most awkward portion of the machinery to be transported by plane.
