Back at Lae

QANTAS resumed flying Sky master aircraft direct to Lae from Sydney on August 2 Flights terminate at Lae on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, departing again on the same days, with the exception of Fridays, when an overnight stop is made.

To clear accumulations of cargo from the south, special flights will also be made as required.

Soon there will be nine Sky masters flying in every fortnight, four in one week and five in the next.

A tenth flight will take cargo only as far as Port Moresby, en route to Singapore. t Queen Salote’s £l,OOO clock for the Royal Chapel at Nukualofa was shipped from England at the end of May, complete with Westminster chames of half-ton bells. The Derby makers have also sent sheets of in structions, diagrams and photo graphs so that the clock and chimes can be installed by Tongan tech nicians.
