New Aeroplane—Macdhui’S Unique Cargo

The large new aeroplane purchased by Guinea Airways, Ltd., for the New Gui nea transport service, arrived in Sydney at the end of October; and it was decided to ship the machine, in cases, to the company’s headquarters at Lae, there to be assembled in the workshops.

It was the most remarkable load ever

carried by the Macdhui. This photo graph shows one of the cases, measuring 49ft. x 10ft. x 7ft., containing the aeroplane fuselage, being placed in position on the liner’s deck. The transportation of the aeroplane to Lae, and the assemblage of the machine there, were carried out without accident.
