RUGBY, October 11. • The Prince of Wales and Prince George made separate flights to Yorkshire yesterday. The Prince of Wales left Hendon by aeroplane for Harewood, near Leeds, to attend the funeral of the late Earl of Harewood.

Prince George left hia brother's private landing ground at Windsor in a service aeroplane piloted by SquadronLeader Don and flew to Hull to open the municipal aerodrome there. It is one of the air stations in the chain now being formed in the north of England by a private company. Prince George eaid he had decided to increase his knowledge of modern methods of transport by undertaking the journey by air. It had been a most enjoyable experience and one which he hoped to repeat when he visited other parts of the country. The evolution of air transport was amazing and it was apparent to all that in the future no city or town would be able to hold its own without adequate facilities for aircraft.
