Transport Scene

The Pacific transport picture is always changing. Top shows a drawing of the new P. and O. 45,000-ton liner now being built in Britain for the Pacific service-and to be named the "Canberra". (See "PIM", March, page 55). Below is the De Havilland amphibious Otter aircraft to be used by Qantas in P-NG soon-to replace the Bravers and Catalinas.

Three other Otters Will be land planes. The Otter has a payload of more than a ton, and carries 11 passengers. NG's Beavers will be brought back to Australia.
