WARM RECEPTION
British Official Wireless.
(Beceived 12th August, 11 a.m.)
BUGBY, 11th August.
Miss Amy Johnson was accorded a great welcome when, she landed from her aeroplane Jason at Hull Municipal Aerodrome this afternoon beforo going to her parents' home for the first time since her flight to Australia. A huge crowd lined the roads in the vicinity of the aerodrome and, after seeing her make a perfect landing, broke into tumultuous cheers.
Miss Johnson was welcomed by the Lord Mayor, who afterwards at the City Hall presented her with an illuminated address in a silver gift casket and a silver globe on which the route of her flight was indicated. Miss Johnson asked that the balance of the local testimonial fund, amounting to about £200, should be devoted to a scholarship in the science of aviation at Hull University College.
A great civic reception and banquet will be hold at the City Hall to-night, and Miss Johnson's speech will be broadcast throughout the country.
