H.B. AERO CLUB
SATURDAY’S PAGEANT. COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMME. Next Saturday morning, afternoon and evening, will be the occasion of great festivity for members of the Hawke’s Bay and East Coast Aero Club, for visiting airmen and airwomen and for the public generally. The club’s pageant, which begins at eleven o’clock at the Longlands aerodrome, is to be a much more ambitious and comprehensive affair than that of last year. About three times as many aeroplanes will compete, and the programme has been extended to a considerable extent and in such a way as to make it extraordinarily attractive.
The first event on the programme will be a competition for locally trained pilots, and the club confidently anticipates that the public will bh very agreeably surprised at the great skill and daring of their own Hawke’s Bay men and women pilots.
The chief event of the afternoon section of the programme will be the race for the Newbigin Cup, which is described as the aero blue ribbon of New Zealand. The race is open to professional pilots, and is bound to provide a stirring sight. Besides that and other events, there will be demonstrations of aerobatics, crazy, and trick flying of all kinds. It is expected that eighteen machines will compete.
In the evening, from 8.30 o’clock till midnight, the club will hold a ball in the Hastings Assembly Hall, and it should make a fitting finale to the day.
It will be the first big ball of the season, and the club is determined to make it a memorable one.
