Pt. Moresby, May 11.

ANEW aerodrome has been completed in the Aibala district, to the north and east of Mount Yule, which will be used in communications with the Goilala Police camp. The ’drome has been pre pared under the supervision of the A.R.M. at Goilala, and has a runway not less than 1000 yards in length.

The ’drome was inspected on April 13 by Mr. J. Collopy, of the Civil Avia tion Board, and was pronounced en tirely satisfactory. This new landing ground will present an easy solution of the difficult and costly problem of transport to and from the Goilala camp.
