Major H. de Havilland, who visited New Guinea to supervise the introduc tion to the Salamaua-Wau service of two Fox Moth ’planes for Messrs. W. R.
Carpenter, Ltd., returned to Sydney by the “Montoro” on February 16.
The new ’planes will be used for freight carriage between Salamaua and Wau (Major de Havilland told “The"
Sun”). By air, the return journey with 650lb. is 55 minutes. The same trip would take 10 days by land.
Major de Havilland said that at pre sent more flying was carried out in New Guinea than in the whole of Australia.
