Qantas Survey Flight to NH; TRAPAS May Resume in June

Prom Our Own Correspondent

Vila. May 11.

A Q ANT AS Catalina arrived at Vila on May 1, with a technical staff. They were on a survey flight and left on May 2. If conditions are favourable, the company may run a service to the New Hebrides with a Sunderland flying-boat. (Fortnightly service is to commence June 26.) The Trans Oceanic Airways flying boat arrived on May 8, after being delayed in Sydney for two days by a sudden whim of the Australian Department of Civil Aviation.

They left the same day for Espiritu Santo and the Solomons.

It is reported that Trapas intends to resume the weekly service between Noumea and the New Hebrides on June 10.
