The Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1929. AERODROME AT THE SEASIDE.
AVIATION exports who have landed and inspected (lie wide area of firm sand foundation at the local seaside, have declared that‘with a little expenditure necessary to remove some of the hummodks, it co.uld be converted into one of the best landing- and taking-off grounds in the Dominion. Portion of this extensive area was once, the bed of the Manawatu River, and lies to the 'north of the present outlet. A visitor interested in aviation, who visited Foxton on Thursday, expressed •the opinion 'to our representative that Foxton possessed, at the seaside, a more suitable ground for aviation purposes than could be obtained in Palmerston North. In his opinion it would not be long before 'commercial aviation'would be established and Foxton could not be overlooked as a suitable depot. The land referred to is portion of the Foxton Harbour Board endowment and we believe the Board would be willing to favourably' consider any proposal to assist in establishing an aerodrome at the sea - side.
