SHORTENING ATLANTIC VOYAGE.
Plans for an air service between London and Cork that would shorten the journey to Arnerira by at least a day aro being prepared. The distance from London to Cork is 400 miles, and a modern commercial aoroplane could accomplish the. journey in four hours. Passengers and mails could leave London the day following the departure of the liner, and catch up with the boat at Quoenetown Harbour, while incoming mails and passengers would leave the ship at Queenstown, and, after a four hours air journoy, arrive in London a. day earlier than is now possible. One scheme is for a eervico of largo amphibious ftyinjj boats, that c<tn land equally well on laud or. water, which would start from the Thames near Westminster and aliffht in Queenstown Harbour, thus eliminating the delays in travelling: to and from terminal land aerodromes.
