FLIGHT, 4 January 195] CIVIL AVIATION NEWS... container .may be loaded with 12 plates or 1! gallons of liquid; the weight of each unit is approximately 91b. * * * The Venezuelan State-owned airline, Lir.eaAeropostal Venezolana, intends to inaugurate weekly round-trip Constellation flights fromMaiquetia to Lima, Peru, as soon as landing rights have been granted by the PeruvianGovernment. The announcement follows the successful completion of eight test flightswhich have already been made on this route. At present the route is served by the Peruvianairline Andes, with an overnight stop at Panama; L.A.V., however, intends to fly theroute overland and without any intermediate stopping point. The Public Enquiry into the accident toB.E.A.'s Viking G-AHPN, which crashed at London Airport on October 31st, will open onMonday, February 19th, at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. The enquiry is beingconducted by Sir Walter Monckton, K.C.; he will be assisted by G/C. S. W. R. Hughes,O.B.E., A.F.C., Deputy-Director of Opera- tional Requirements at the Air Ministry, andby Capt. N. S. Head, D.F.C., a senior captain of Airwork, Ltd. PIPER TRI-PACER : Such is ths appropriate designation of the latest version o, this American four-seat sporting mazh'me, now fitted with a sturdy-looking tricycle landing- gear. During the development work on the PA-22, as this conversion is also known, several prototypes were subjected to more than 4,000 landings and 3,000 miles of taxying—the equivalent of 15 years of normal private-owner operation. The Tri-Pacer has a steerable nosewheel, and rudder and aileron controls are interconnected. Empty weigh: is only 301b greater than thai of the standard version. Statistics compiled by the Australian Department of CivilAviation reveal a continued upward trend in all phases of airline activity in that country. During the financial year endedJune 30th airlines operated over a larger network and carried more passengers, mail and freight than ever before. The mostspectacular rise was seen in the amount of mail carried, 1,316,795 ton-miles being recorded. This represented an increaseof 56.3 per cent over the total for the previous year and was accounted for mainly by the emergency flood-services flown inNew South Wales and Queensland, by a coal strike and by Christmas mails. The domestic network now totals 72,078 miles. w * * *American Airlines have announced a further order for three DC-6Bs; they will cost, including spares, about $3,500,000. The company already has 11 aircraft of this type on order anddelivery of the first is expected in February. The company, incidentally, has now succeeded in obtaining authorization tooperate a non-stop passenger schedule between New York and Toronto. a * * Preparations are now being made to carry out a survey of apossible Pacific route from Australia to South America. The Catalina to be used on the survey is now being given a completeC. of A. overhaul at the R.A.A.F. base at Rathmines. On the flight it will be commanded by Capt. P. G. Taylor, who is nowarranging for 2,500 gallons of petrol to be available at Easter Island. Capt. Taylor, a T.O.A. pilot, was recently awarded theJohnston Memorial Trophy for Air Navigation. R.Ae.C.
