AIR MAIL HISTORY
GOOD WISHES FROM GREAT BRITAIN. A lettei - has been received from Mr R. Brenard, manager of the Press Department of Imperial Airways, conveying greetings and good wishes, which are reciprocated, on the occasion of the inauguration of the threehalfpenny air .mail between Britain and New Zealand. . Mr Brenard observes that this new scheme may well become to the British Commonwealth of Nations, what Rowland Hill’s penny post was once to Britain. Empire air transport, he adds, “has vindicated itself as an instrument for the benefit of all classes of people within the Empire and this must be a happy thought for the pion- ' eers who visualised from the start a system of air transport offering not merely luxury travel to the few, but enduring service to the many.”
