"Flying is not like riding a bicycle," said Mr. H. Gatty, the famous Austrailan airman, at a private screening of an aviation picture. "It cannot be dropped and then gone back to. You have to keep up with it to avoid falling behind, owing to the rapid strides it is making." He predicted a great advance in aviation in New Zealand over the next few years. It had not previously been needed, but soon everyo'ne who could fly would have great opportunities. "In the United States," concluded Mr. Gatty, "many of the' old pilots, the war-time flyers, were at the top of the business but, this is only due to their own determination not to let aviation get ahead of them."
