AERO CLUBS
A LONDON VISITOR’S OPINION Dominion Special Service. Auckland, May 8. “Are they doing anything about the formation of aero clubs in this country?” asked Mr. V. 11. Doree, of London, when he arrived by the Maunganui this morning. “As I am a member of the London and New South Wales Aero Clubs, I am naturally interested,” he added by way of explanation. “They have . been most successful! in the establishment of them in New South Wales, and in comparison London appears to be lagging behind. At Home we appear to be much slower at getting down to real wo-’-. pu-'iorgh the weather ; against us and we cannot do as much liymg as tiiey apparently are able to do in this part of the world — that is, as far as aero clubs are concerned.”
Mr. Doree, who is making his second visit to New Zealand, in illustrating his remarks, mentioned the fact that the London Club, of which he. was a member, had five machines, while New South Wales already had seven and there were three more on the way. While in New Zealand, he was going to make it his business to inquire fully into the whole question and report his findings to his mother club at Home, the idea being to endeavour to inculcate an exchange of ideas concerning these innovations.
