PRINCE OF WALES

FLIGHT JO DENMARK Visit to Germany (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 22. The Prince of Wales, with his suite, in the Imperial Airways liner. “Heracles,” reached Copenhagen safely this evening. During the latter part of the journey the air liner had been escorted by fifteen Danish naval and military aircraft. The Prince was the first to leave the air liner, and was immediately greeted by the Crown Prince Frederick and other members of the Danish Royal Family and many distinguished figures in Danish public life, together with the British Minis ter, Sir Thomas Hohlcr, and other officials present. The Prince received also a most enthusiastic greeting from a crowd of many thousands assembled at Kastrup Aerodrome. The weather somewhat retarded the Princes arrival. After leaving Croydon this morning, strong head winds, reaching gale force, had been encountered over the channel, and this made the journey longer than expected. The liner landed at Amsterdam, where the Prince had a light lunch before the journey was continued to Hamburg. It was the first occasion on which the Prince set foot on German soil since the war. Most members of the British colony were among the great crowd who assembled at the aerodrome to greet him. After a forty minutes’ halt the giant plane set off on the last, stage of its flight. The Prince is expected to remain at Copenhagen for about a week, and will pay a private visit to the King and Queen of Denmark. When he opens the British Exhibition on Saturday he will be accompanied by the Crown Prince of Denmark. At the end of the month the Prince will pay his lirtit visit to Stockholm and will be the guest of the King and Queen of Sweden.
