DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1930 



129 



Six minor accidents also occurred. A Hamilton was damaged when 

 attempting to take off at Goose Island. A Moth turned over in a gale at Goose 

 Island. In taking off from a small lake in the Biscotasing area a Moth under- 

 carriage was damaged. The machine was not heard of for four days, but when 

 found and parts taken in the machine was flown back to the operating base for 

 repairs. The Vedette was damaged at Bear Island and a Moth was turned over 

 in a gale of wind at Orient Bay. The D.H. 61 was damaged on account of 

 propeller failure when taxiing. 



In each of the above referred to cases the machines were repaired, returned 

 to the Service bases without undue loss of time or heavy reconditioning expenses. 



Again it is my happy privilege to commend the entire personnel of the 

 Provincial Air Service upon the splendid, honest, untiring efforts expended to 

 carry out requirements, to supply the flying when and where requested to the 

 Branch. 



The annual report hides many inspiring examples of courage and devotion 

 to duty of the Personnel. Hardly a day passes without outstanding incidents 

 taking place. The flying crews may not agree that they perform outstanding 

 feats, probably have never given it a thought. To mention one case would be 

 unfair as everybody in the Force has contributed to making a Service of high 

 standard. It owes its success to the esprit de corps of the Personnel and their 

 unceasing and staunch effort to do all that is required of them. 



Operating Statistics. 



The statistical summary herewith records the record year of the Provincial 

 Air Service in the past seven years of flying operations.
