Original Toronto Star caption: Refueller for Trans-Canada planes off to Newfoundland. This bull-necked; heavy-hoofed air monster is a Handley-Page refuelling machine. Shown here still on land at Montreal; a few moments later it took off for a long flight to Newfoundland. There it will be used for refuelling airplanes of Trans-Canada Airlines; which now link Canada's coasts. This is the newest development in the system which is rapidly bringing Canada's aerial service into line with that of other countries.
