Boyne Drummond who has been associated with the Walsh Flying School for the last decade, outlined some of its history.  
 
The 57th School will be held at the Waharoa Airfield, Matamata next January. Selection of the 45 entrants was currently under way. The School provided a great grounding and introduction to the theory and practice of flying.

  • Funding
  • Rotary support
  • The two week programme

Students supported by the Newmarket Club had won the annual Walsh Trophy for the top student on the Course on two recent occasions.
