Aeroplane For New Guinea
p. 72 · Read in the full issue
AN old De Havilland Hercules tri motored biplane arrived in Sydney on July 30, having been flown from Perth.
It was originally operated by Australian Airways; was sold in 1934 to the Mc- Robertson-Miller interests for the Perth- Daly Waters service: and now has been sold again to Mr. E. J. Stephens for service in New Guinea. The Stephens service, of Wau, runs a small fleet of freighters.
It had been intended to overhaul the machine at Mascot and fly it to New Guinea in November. This was found impracticable, so the machine will be sent to New Guinea as steamer cargo, and overhauled there.
