Has Hopes
New Caledonian aviator Henri Martinet is hoping to return to the Celebes in June, to repair his single-engine plane, which crashed there in March.
In Noumea in May, Mr.
Martinet said he expected the two-seater could be repaired in a couple of weeks. He would then like to continue his journey from Paris over the originally planned trail through New Guinea, Solomons and New Hebrides to Noumea.
The 62-year-old pilot and his wife, France Martinet, began their journey from Paris on February 9, to commemorate Martinet’s first historic Noumea- Paris flight in a single-engine plane 30 years ago.
