Pilot Alcock (who took the VickersVimy aeroplane across the Atlantic) is optimistic regarding future Atlantic flights. He believes that a regular service with big machines will be established within a year. The aviators are expected to arrive, in London this evening. Demonstrations "of welcome have been arranged at Dublin, Chester, Crewe, Rugby, and elsewhere on the route. The Aero Club has arranged a procession in London, and various air "stunts" will be performed in honour of the occasion.
