LAST year admirers of the late Sir Charles Kingstord Smith were able to inspect a remarkable memorial collection of models and photographs of the Southern Cross, the work of an Australian named Austin Byrne. Proceeds, which were in aid of a Kingsford Smith memorial ambulance for the Royal New Zealand Air Force, were added to by a series of R.N.Z.A.F. band concerts, and recently a fine new ambulance was handed over to the Government by B. T. Sheil, deputy-Controller of the CBS and a former associate of "Smithy." This picture was taken during the handing-over ceremony, and shows the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Peter Fraser, the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones, and some of the gathering present.
