SUVA, July 4.
A LOCKHEED Hudson plane with photograph equinment arrived in Fiji on July 3, on behalf of Adastm Airways Ltd., of Australia: and, within the next three months, operating from Nadi, it will com plete the photographic mapping of the colony commenced by Hunting Airways Ltd. several years ago. The firm, which has done mapping work In New Guinea, Tasmania, and on the Snowy River hydro scheme in Australia, has been engaged by the Fiji Government. The managing director is Captain “Bunny” Ham mond, once well known in New Guinea aviation.
Fiji areas still to be mapped, and prevented from so being by cloud m previous efforts, are eastern Viti Levu, three-quarters of Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Koro, Ovalau, Kadavu and Kioa.
It is hoped that the cost will be covered by a Colonial Development grant from the British Govern ment.
