WORLD'S AIR UNIVERSITY

WHY LEARNERS GO TO U.K. BETTER TUITION AND MACHINES • • . LONDON, Oct. 21; London has become tli«' Hying university of the world, for men and women froni nil corners of the globe come to London to learn how to pilot aii aeroplane. Egyptians, Japanose, Chinese, Germans, Swede!*, and Americans are only a few of the nations represented at the London schools of Hying, and when a reporter visited the London air park at Han worth six pupils were pointed out to him, all of whom represented different nations.

These foreigners and overseas as : plranfs to becoming future" "owner drivers" are unanimous regarding their reasons for coming to London for their tuition. The business mini from the East, who has to make long journeys over hundreds of miles, of deserted wastes to perform his busii;oss ami social obligations, is realising that the aeroplane is the fastest and most economical means of transport.

These people come to London with their wives determined to take advantage of the unrivalled facilities afforded for learning to fly, because, they say, the methods'used for instruction here are infinitely superior, to those of other countries.; They also say that, our aeroplanes are fir sdfer to learn in and the best instruction is obtained at by far the cheapest .fates.
