Skymasters For Norfolk

(COMMENCING with the departure on J June 9, Qantas Empire Airways are operating the fortnightly service to Norfolk Island with a Skymaster. This type of aircraft will replace the Lancas trians, with which the route has been serviced since October, 1947.

The Skymasters will continue to operate to Norfolk Island on a fortnightly schedule until further notice.

This innovation is necessary, owing to the increased demand for air transport to and from Norfolk Island. The Lan castrians carried only 11 passengers, whereas the Skymasters will take con siderably more. The Skymasters take just over seven hours to fly to Norfolk Island from Sydney.
