SEAPLANE DAMAGED.
IN NAPIER HARBOUR
Napier, Yesterday. ■ A seaplane from the Auckland Flying School, which had been giving passenger flights here since Boxing Day, was damaged in the harbour yesterday. During a high wind in the morning the reversing gear of the pilot launch was carried away while an attempt was being made to tow the seaplane to a more sheltered anchorage. The seaplane was blown alongside the wharf, and its wings and fuselage damaged. Later it was hauled on to the beach. The damage is estimated at over £SOO. Subscriptions are being taken up locally to cover the cost of impairs, and already amount to over £250.
