HENDON PAGEANT
ExMPIRE AIR DAY.
Creating Air-mindedness in
All Classes.
PRINCE'S CONFIDENCE. (British Ollieial Wireless.) (Received 12.30 p.m.) RUGBY, May 24
Forty-five Royal Air Force stations will be open to visitors to-morrow to enable them to inspect the normal work of units, and in some cases, witness rehearsals of items under preparation for the Hendon display next month. Fifty-three civil aerodromes will also be open to inspection. The occasion is Empire Air Day, and in many parts of the Empire similar celebrations will take place to foster public interest in aviation and to exhibit the advances made In aviation sciences. The Air League of the British Empire has received from the Prince of Wales a letter expressing confidence that the success of the first Empire Air Day last year, when iu the British Isles alone 137,000 people vkited aerodromes, will be outdone. This is highly probable, as it is being held this year on Saturday instead of in the middle of the week. The Prince adds that it is impossible to exaggerate the importance of developing "air-inindedness," not only among enthusiasts, but among the whole population.
