Light Aircraft Demonstrated

A Bragle Airedale, one of the latest British light aircraft on sale today, was demonstrated to the Gisborne Aaro Club recently by the chief pilot and sales manager of N.Z. Aerosales Ltd, of Timaru, Mr Paul Legg.

Powered by an American Lycoming 180 h.p. motor, and capable of carrying four passengers and 120 lb. of luggage at 120 m.p.h. for more than three and a half hours, the aircraft proved to be very versatile in its performance.
