p. 60 · Read in the full issue

Page 6060

THE new Ford three-engined aeroplane recently purchased in England by Holden’s Air Transport Services Ltd., for work on the New Guinea goldfields, has been shipped in crates from London. It is due to arrive at Salamaua by the Friderun in April. At Salamaua, the machine will be put together by Holden’s mechanics, and will be in commission by

the end of April.

Though it is intended to buy another ’plane to supplement Holden’s air fleet, some difficulty is being experienced in ob taining a suitable machine. At the middle of February, the company’s agents were inspecting several aeroplanes in Europe.

As a result of the death of Mr. H. W.

Holden, chairman of directors, several changes have been made on the com pany’s board of directors. Mr. H. J. Pres ton has been appointed the new chairman of directors; and Mr. L. A. Lister, for merly secretary of the firm, has been made a director. Mr. R. A. Wright is now secretary.
