DICKS ON LAKE ELLESMERE
■IT) 'J Hi; BUtTOR OF TriK l-BKHS. Sl r -My last command in the Royal Air Force was that of the Armament and Gunnery School at Eastehureh in ihc Isle of Shopping, Kent. Bombing and gunnery practice was carried out riailv at tliis station, machine-gun pracUcc'on the ground being earned ilsed as a training ground d training required by the omcers 01 the New Zealand Air Force. What the Acclimatisation Society may really fear is the destruction of many birds at the begmnmgo the shooting season, owing J" their rikrpfz-ird of cun-fre. I write this last SSt hi "good faith not with any wish to be flippant, and hope that the sportsmen who are interested in the duck-shooting at Lake Ellesinere w. 1 realise that it is only at the beg inning of the training season at Wigram Aerodrome that the birds ut themioitileastern corner of the lake will : show any signs of alarm: and that by the end of February they will take no notice whatever of the aeroplanes or the gunnery practices.—Yours, etc.. STUART GRANT DALTON. Geraldine, February 10, ISM 4.
