VISITING AIRMEN
HOSPITALITY OF HASTINGS. AUCKLAND HEARS OF IT. The hospitality of the people of Hastings is quite well known in all parts of the Dominion, and further evidence of it has been afforded by the report of the Auckland airmen on their return home from the Hawke's Bay Aero Club's pageant. Reporting on this, Mr L. W. Swan, secretary of the Auckland Aero Club states : — "Quite a surprise awaited us when we arrived at the Hawke's Bay Aero Club's aerodrome at Hastings, on Tuesday morning, ready to fly to New Plymouth. The Hastings people had unfolded the wings of both Moths, filled up with benzine and oil, and both engines were thoroughly warmed up and ticking over nicely. Thev had even placed boxes of sandwiches in the cockpits." he concluded.
