Summary
editDescriptionCaptain Euan Dickson, Mr C.H. Hewlett and Mr J.E. Moore (9573715328).jpg | On 25 August 1920 Captain Euan Dickson flew the first air mail across the Cook Strait connecting the North and South Islands by air, a feat never undertaken before. The plane took off from Sockburn aerodrome, Christchurch, and landed in Trentham, Upper Hutt, to an onlooking Wellington audience. The journey took about 5 hours in flight time but 7 hours to navigate the trip safely. Mr C.H. Hewlett (pictured centre in the photograph) was deputy chairman of Canterbury (N.Z) Aviation Co. Ltd at the time. The company was looking to test this route to gain government support in setting up commerical services between Christchurch and Wellington. This photograph of Dickson, Hewlett and engineer Mr J.E. Moore is held at Archives New Zealand as part of the New Zealand National Airways Corporation series. Public Affairs used these images of staff for internal publications and sometimes for advertising or press/media releases.
