What about Norfolk,

Mr. Swartz?

Representatives at the con ference seemed happy about events in the aviation world, but in a late September editorial the Norfolk Islander had this to say: “There has been much speculation over the last few months about the rumoured ex tensions and improvements to our own airstrip, and although we throw up our hands in horror at the thought of Norfolk be coming over-run with visitors, nevertheless it is essential that some statement should be made so that we can plan an orderly development of tourism on the island.

“ k A landmark of civil aviation’ is how Mr. Swartz described the conference, and to the people of Fiji, New Zealand, Nauru and Tonga this is no doubt true. May be Mr. Swartz could inform the people of Norfolk Island what our next landmark in civil aviation history will be.”
