Martinet heads
for Paris again
Veteran pilot Henri Martinet took off in October from Noumea on his return flight to Paris in a single-engined plane.
The 63-year-old Caledonian was
accompanied by his wife, France
Martinet, as co-pilot.
Their adventures aboard Le Cagou began in February when the Martinets left Paris bound for the Pacific. It was not until August that the plane arrived however, as it crashed in Indonesia just after a French Press photographer had taken over from Mrs. Martinet in Singa pore.
This time Mrs, Martinet was determined to accompany her husband all the way on the return flight from Noumea, which marks the 30th an niversary of Henri Martinet’s first Noumea-Paris flight in 1939.
The trip to Paris is expected to take 45 days. In Europe the Martinets plan various pleasure jaunts in their Caudron-Renault before they offer it to an air museum.
