AVIATION
PRINCE’S ENTHUSIASM. (Australian Frees Assn.) (By Cable —Press Assn. —Copyright.) RUGBY, October 10. The King’s eldest and youngest sons, the Prince of Wales and Prince George, made separate journeys by air to Yorkshire to-day. The Prince of Wales .left Hendon by aeroplane for Harewood, near Leeds, to attend the funeral of the Earl of Harewood. His . aeroplane was piloted by Pilot Fieldon, the Prince’s personal pilot. Prince George left the Prince of Wales’s private landing ground at Windsor in a service aeroplane, piloted by Squadron Leader Don, and flew to Hull to open the Hull Municipal Aerodrome. This aerodrome is one of the air stations in a chain that is being formed in the north of England by a private company. The Prince said that he had decided to increase his knowledge of modern methods of transport by undertaking the journey by air. It had been a most enjoyable experience, and one which he hoped to repeat when visiting other parts of the country. The evolution of air transport was amazing, and it was apparent to all that in future no city or town would be able to hold its own without adequate facilities for aircraft. AUCKLAND FLIERS. WELLINGTON, October 12. In beautiful flying weather three Auckland planes left for Masterton at seven-thirty, the first stop on the return journey to Auckland. They will go on to Hastings after a short stay at Masterton, and remain overnight there before proceeding to Gisborne and Auckland.
