Under Repair

WHEN New Zealand’s Minister of Defence (Mr. MacDonald) returned from the South Paci fic Air Transport Council meeting in June, he reported that the RNZAF unit at Laucala Bay, Suva, was making good progress in re pairing hurricane damage. All of the damaged accommodation buil dings in the barracks area, and the large waterfront hangar had been repaired. About 80 per cent, of the

buildings had been damaged. Buil dings demolished will be replaced.

A start has been made on the new concrete babrracks and plans are being prepared for new technical buildings, to replace those destroyed.
