PROGRESS OF AVIATION.
SERVICES IN LONDON. BY CABLE—PEESS ABBOCIATION-COEYBIGHt LONDON, May 7. Coincident with St. Romain’s thrilling trans-Atlantic crossing, which is officially regarded as foolhardly because he removed the floats, a giant air liner circled London on the first pleasure cruise, just as a pleasure steamer might run round Sydney harbour. This tells the story of the amazing advance of aviation. Giant ’planes with sleeping cabins will soon be operating regularly between London and the Continent. Experiments are progressing with seaplane services for the same route, alighting on the Thames. Several big departmental stores in London are showing aeroplanes in their windows for private sale. Lloyds have introduced an air arrival and departure list. Many citizens already own private ’planes which are utilised daily for the purpose of coming to London and returning from business.
