AERODROME FOR GREY.
[TO THE EDITOR.] Sir, —I am very much surprised that an ex-War pilot with records such as “Flying Speed” should try to put a damper on the proposal for an aerodrome for Grey. His experiences as a war pilot would be very interesting indeed, but the main object of these letters is to hustle and inake provision for a landing ground. “Flying Speed” may have had considerable experience with planes, more so seaplanes, for they require water to take off, not lamj. It is quite evident “Flying Speed”* does not want to see. a ’drome here by the mere fact of him saying that Grey is fortunate in being free from such unbearable noises as plane motors. There is very little more to be said, “Flying Speed,” in connection with this subject, as Friday’s “Star” said everything that could be justly said. As “Flying Speed” quotes, “It is useless conversing with a man unless he can teach you something,” so I think I will sign off. People that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. —I am, etc./ LET’S BE FIRST.
