Aerial or course photo of the airfield circuit at the RNZAF station, Wigram, with a photo of Hec Green and, at right, D. G. Wild, the youngest driver in the race, in his Fiat Special. The accompanying text is too garbled to read reliably but mentions the Australian Coglan having pit stops in the 100 miles NZ championship at Wigram.
