T.I. Aerodrome To Be On Horn Island!
From Our Own Correspondent
Thursday Is., July 23.
RABAUL’S experience of having its official aerodrome prepared 12 miles away from the town is evidently going to be repeated at Thursday Island.
According to trustworthy sources the Commonwealth authorities have turned down the possibility of having an aero drome on T.I. itself, and have decided to make one on Horn Island. This will entail the expenditure of several thous ands of pounds, as during the wet sea son the intended site is under water. No inspector has yet seen it during the “north-west’’ season.
Locally it is contended that the expen diture of half the money would make the present T.I. aerodrome all that could be desired. This site would also have many other advantages.
