FLYING IN AUSTRALIA
DEVELOPING COUNTRY DISTRICTS Quito a new step in commercial aviation in Australia was taken recently, when a Gipsy Moth airplane, christened Golden Shell and painted in the red and gold of the Shell Company of Australia, Limited, was formally handed over to representatives of the company at Essendon Airdrome. The machine is the first to be acquired by an oil company in Australia for its use, and, in addition to being used in connection with the company’s business, will play a useful part in the development of aviation in country districts. The machine was flown from Sydney by Flying-Officer Owen, who recently flew from England to Australia with Flying-Officer Moir. and who is now attached to the Shell Company’s aviation staff.
