The Vacuum Oil Co., Sydney, has supplied the following details outlining the Dutch East Indies Government’s plans for assisting competitors in the Centenary Air Race.
Participants in the race, it is stated, will be exempt from all the usual formalities and investi gations by customs and police officers. They will be allowed to land and take off on any D.E.I. aerodrome without obstruction.
Weather reports are to be broadcast at frequent periods from Sourabaya, Batavia, and Koepang for the benefit of the airmen. To enable the competi tors to land and start in the dark, night lights have been installed at the principal flying fields.
At Sourabaya and Batavia aerodromes a doctor will be available to render medical assistance if neces sary. The personnel of the Government air force and the K.N.I.L.M. Air Co. will be present also to give technical assistance to pilots.
