lEAVER aircraft, although small f in size, are by no means puny.

Since Qantas replaced Drover rcraft with Beaver maids-of-all- Drk, they have done a full-sized b in New Guinea.

They recently transported two efabricated houses from Bulolo to enyamya, still one of the most •imitive outposts of Morobe dis ict.

This is a distance of only 40 miles om Bulolo, but is completely in cessible, except by air.

The small Beavers, like infuriated its, took 51 trips to do the job— metimes doing 8 trips a day—but ey completed it in 10 days.
