CIVIL AVIATION
RAPID PROGRESS IN BRITAIN. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, December 3. Sir Sefton Brancker, Director of Civil Aviation, at Shrewsbury yesterday that private flying was increasing every day in Britain, and this year his Department was issuing pilots’ licenses and certificates for aircraft at double the 1928 rate. He anticipated that they would double the rate again in 1930. Every day they were moving towards making air transport pay its way, and as this materialized it was obvious that the demand for commercial aircraft would increase to very big proportions.
