From Our Own Correspondent WAU, Aug. 19.
TV/fR. KEVIN PARER, a well known N.G. pilot, who until recently was flying for Mandated Airlines Ltd., has entered commercial flying at Wewak on his own behalf, with a new Fox Moth.
This is a further indication that business prospects at Wewak are promising.
Although the frequent sight of several mules being chased off the Wau aero drome by a Ford machine is a comical one, it is not without its serious side, too.
Proper precautions should be taken to prevent the access of animals to the ’drome. The danger to pilots of such a state of affairs needs no elaborating.
