AIR WEEK-ENDS
FLYING TO SEASIDE LONDON’S LATEST LONDON, Nov. 18. Messrs Stack and Leete, two menibers of the Royal Aero Club, who have set out in a light aeroplane in an attempt to make a record long distance flight, are held up by bad weather at Lympne aerodrome, Kent. They' deny that they intend to fly to Australia. “Messrs Yeete and Staek’s aerial holiday cruise is an instance of what can be expected from the development of aero clubs throughout Britain," said a representative of De Havilland’s.
“Both are members of the Lancashire Aero Club and started with o! 1 y a few spare parts, some tools and :i small personal kit, probably' for a cruise in North Africa, to get a bit of sunshine. v
“Aeroplaning is becoming as cheap as motoring. Many British business men own their own Moths, and several Londoners motor out to the aerodrome on Saturdays, garage their ears in the hangar, and take out their ‘Moth,’ and spend the week-end in Devon and return on Monday morning.
“Plying to tho seaside is mori pleasant than motoring and avoids the congestion of the roads."
