Lodge, Nevile Sidney, 1918-1989:Sydney-bound passengers at Wellington Airport are being weighed because a refuellers' strike at Sydney means DC8 flights have to load extra fuel and the passenger load has to be reduced to about half. Evening Post. 10 March 1980.

There are three scenes in this cartoon. In the top right passengers are being weighed at the check-in desk. The man on the scales is being told by the airline staff that he is too fat to board the flight. In the lower left the man standing on the scales is turning to his wife and telling her she won't be able to go on the flight because 'it isn't big enough for both of us'. In the lower right three men are walking out to board the plane. One, dressed only in his underwear, is telling another man that taking off his clothes was the only way he could pass the weigh-in.
