AERO CLUBS.
VIEWS OF VISITING ENTHUSIAST. AUCKLAND, May 8. “ Are they doing anything about the formation of aero clubs in this country? ” asked Mr V. H. Doree, of London, when he arrived by the Maunganui this morning. “As I am a member of the London and New South Wales Aero Clubs I am naturally interested.” he added, by way of explanation. ” They have been most successful in the establishment of the clubs in New South Wales, and in comparison London appears to be lagging behind. At Home we appear to be much slower at getting down to real work, although the weather is against us and we cannot do as much flying, as they apparently are able to do in this part of the world —that is, so far as aero clubs are concerned.”
Mr Doree, who is making his second visit to New Zealand, in illustrating his remarks, mentioned the fact that the London Club, of which he was a member, had five,machines, whilst the New South Wales Club already had seven, and there were three more on the way. While in New Zealand he was going to make it his business to inquire fully into the whole question, and report his findings to his mother club at Home, the idea being to endeavour to inculcate an exchange of Meas concerning these innovations.
