This was the first time these vehicles had been on display here and there manoeuverabilâ€" ity speed drew the interest of everyone. One station wagon, one utility and transport truck of heavy design and a staff car made up the convoy. During the time of waiting the arriâ€" val of the planes which were to bomb the convoy .the skilled drivers gave exâ€" hibitions of their skill with the Mhiacâ€" hines of war. It was remarkable how some of the drivers managed their veâ€" hicles in so small a space and each drew the cheers from the nuge crowd. Due to a very low cloud ceiling and. adverse weather conditions the squadâ€". ron of Hudson bombers could not make the flight. However, one bomber did take a chance and come through and the pilot daring in such low flying was the cause of much admiration for the lads of the RCAF. On his second flight over the convoy, the pilot had his plane practically at roof top level. It was a brief but clever exhibition of fAying. The bomber also sprayed the town with Victory Loan handbills and many of these are being retained as treasures and reminders of this interâ€"| Weather Prevented All but One Bomber from Coming Here.
