Lodge, Nevile Sidney, 1918-1989:"Of course, in another year those costs will have risen so we'll require a further cost-benefit analysis and by the time we've got that and studied it the costs will have risen again. So we'll have to review the whole plan in the light of the financial situation in about 1984." Evening Post. 16 May 1979.

In this cartoon three men, one of whom is the Minister of Transport Colin McLachlan, stand looking at a picture indicating the costs of extending the runway of Wellington airport. An arrow labelled northern extension has $10,900,000 above it. Another arrow labelled southern extension has $26,500,000 above it while below it is written 'or possibly $8,800,000'. In front of the picture is a draughtsman's table.

Other Titles - Alternative extensions to runway at the Wellington airport
