HV Royal Flight Now Fiji Governor’s Yacht

p. 20 · Read in the full issue

The 56-ft. twin “Gardner”-Diesel, twin screw, motor-vessel, Royal Flight, owned by Group-Captain and Mrs. Garnet Malley, of Sydney, has recently been purchased by the Fiji Government. She will hence forth be the Govenment yacht, conveying the Governor to outlying Islands, and will undertake much of the work done up to date by the “Adi Beti.”

With exception of two months, when they loaned their Royal Flight to the J. Arthur Rank Company for the purpose of filming the Blue Lagoon in Fiji waters, Group-Captain and Mrs. Malley have for the past three years been cruising around the Pacific Islands in this yacht.

They are at present at their plantation at Vanua M’Balavu, in the Lau Exploring Group, Fiji Islands.
