PRINCE AS AVIATOR.
A PRIVATE AERODROME
(United Press Association —Copyright.)
LONDON, October 29
A feature of the new country home of the Prince of Wales at Fort Belvedere, near Virginia Water, is the private aerodrome of 100 acres, with hangars, and a dressing-room for himself and his equerry. Trees planted to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Jubilee have been cut down to facilitate landing and takingoff.
Thus the Prince is one among perhaps a score of Englishmen wlip have private aerodromes, though it is certain that every country house of any pretensions will have one within a decade.
