MAILS TO EUROPE
N IGHT-FLYI NG AEROPLANES. RUGBY, October 20. It lias been proposed to hold a conference between the Post Office, the Air Ministry and the London Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of drawing np some definite plan for non-stop night-flying air mail services to such Continental capitals as Oslo, Stockholm, Warsaw, Budapest, Rome and Madrid.
Commercial firms, it is stated, want such services, so as to save from one and a half to two days in the transmission of mails to the Continent, and they also suggest that aeroplanes flying through the night at an average speed of 100 miles an hour would drop mails at intermediate stations on the lipe, such 'as Amsterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen,' Cologne, Berlin, Leipzig, Munich, Prague, Vienna, Paris and Bordeaux.
