EARLY AEROPLANES
SOME WEIRD INSPIRATIONS
"It is going to be a very wonderful show," said Mr. G. H. Meadmore, M.8.E., the Commissioner-General of the United Kingdom Pavilion, speaking of the Exhibition yesterday afternoon at the Travel Club. "It is a beautiful lay-out, the buildings are in extremely good taste, and all is arranged so that everybody will be able to see everything to be seen with little fear of having missed anything of importance."
Speaking of the United Kingdom's pavilion, he said that it would be on simple lines, with'a frontage of 200 ft. and would feature transport and communications. "Some of the planes will amuse you very much," he continued. "There are some which were devised 150 years ago, but have never got further than the drawings on paper. Others were constructed, but owing to their construction never flew, but at least they were the beginnings of the wonderful machines we see flying today."
