Description:
"New York was never like this", thinks two year old Phillip Watkins, world traveller, as he leaves his aircraft at the N.A.C. terminal, Woodbourne, with his mother Mrs Jill Watkins.

Seconds later he had a big greeting for his father, whom he had not seen for 4 months. Phillip and his mother returned home yesterday after a visit to his grandmother in England, who was very ill, but has made a good recovery.

The pair left Blenheim on March 30, travelling via U.S.A. to London. They returned via the Middle East.
