Tokelau Islands Memorial To NZ Airmen
THE Tokelau Islands Administratior will erect a memorial to the sever airmen who were killed when a RNZAF Catalina flying-boat plunged intc Satapuala Bay, Western Samoa, lasi December. At the time of the accident the seven men were on a routine flight to the Tokelaus.
The Tokelau Group, which is New Zealand’s most recent Pacific acquisition having come under Dominion rule a couple of years ago, is very isolated but through the three-monthly service be tween the Group and W. Samoa by the RNZAF flying-boat its remoteness has been substantially lessened.
It is in appreciation of this service that the Tokelau Administration will erect the memorial.
