Increasing Aerodromes When laying out new aerodromes it is usual for a surveyor and al district officer of the administra-| tion to charter one of the com- pany's aircraft-usually a D.H.50 with extra fuel tanks in the wings
—and to map from the air a die-
trict for exploration. The pilot on most of these survey trips has been Mr. F. T. O'Dea, and he has. been able to choose a site which could be easily cleared. After this the party lies back to the base and a ground party then pro- ceeds to the spot-journeys often dangerous through encounters with hostile natives. The ground is cleared of trees and buah, and ar-; rangements are made for the aero- plane to return and land on thei improvised aerodrome with sup- Plies of rations. Thus a new cen- tre of activity springs up.
