OVER VESUVIUS
BRITISH AIRMEN’S EXPLOIT. RECORD FLIGHT IN BABY PLANE. fPreas Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.) MALTA, December 1. Messrs Stack and Lecto, (lying from Capua, passed the the still smoking Vesuvius. The plane has already beaten the record for distance flying by baby planes.—A. and N.Z. Cable. Messrs Stack and Lecte, two members of the Aero Club who are endeavouring to make a record distance flight in a light aeroplane, started on their journey on Monday, November 15. “Their aerial holiday cruise is an instance of what can be expected from the development of aero clubs throughout Britain.” said a representative of Do Haviland’s. “Both are members of the Lancashire Aero Club, and started with only a few spare parts, some tools, and n small personal kit, probably for a cruise in North Africa, to get a bit of sunshine.” Aeroplaning is becoming as cheap as motoring. Many British business men own their own Moths, and several Londoners motor out to the aerodrome.
