AIR MAILS.
NIGHT-FLYING SERVICES.
(British Official Wireless.) Received October 22‘, 10.0 a.m. RUGBY, Oct. 21
It has been proposed to hold a conference between the Post Office, the Air Ministry, and the London Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of drawing up some definite plan for nonstop 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 a day 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, could drop mails at intermediate stations on the line —Amsterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Cologne, Berlin, Leipzig, Munich, Prague, Vienna, Paris and Bordeaux.
