Airlines of NSW, which operates a Sandringham flying-boat service from Sydney to Lord Howe Island, has a plan to introduce fast amphibians to the service by 1968, according to Captain S. C. Middle miss, manager of the airline.
He told the Sydney Press in August that Canadair Company, Canada, had completed plans for a 30passenger prop-jet, high-winged amphibian. It was a twin-engined aircraft, capable of 220 knots. Such an amphibian could alight on Lord Howe Island's lagoon and taxi up to a concrete ramp on the shore.
