Damaged In Papua

A GUINEA Airways Ford plane which left Port Moresby on July 20 for Yodda. Kokoda, and Eilogo, (Mr.

Loudon’s plantation), handling cargo and passengers from each of the three aero dromes, was forced to make a landing, after taking off at Eilogo, owing to engine trouble.

In doing so, the machine struck a con cealed stump, which caused considerable damage to the body and wings. It is re ported that the damage will put the Ford out of action for some time. Pilot Ken Gardiner was not injured.
