NIGHT FLYING.
LONDON-PARIS SERVICE. The experiments now being carried out concerning the possibilities of a regular night air service between Paris and London are proving highly successful. Recently the pilot Codos, who has already made several night trips to London and back, made the return journey between 6.36 p.m. and 1 a.m. Laving Le Bourget at 6.30 p.m. with his mechanic and two passengers, he reached Croydon at 8.30 p.m.; refilled his fuel tanks, leaving at 9.25 p.m., and with 12001 b -of cargo was back at Le Bourget aerodrome at 1 o’clock next morning. Experts who have been following the results of the numerous trial flights made during the past few weeks, hold them to prove that a nightly Paris-London service may be run just as regularly and safely as those run in daylight.
