(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.)
London, September 3. The Air Council has sanctioned a new. Air Force aerodrome at Mildenhall as a base for the centenary air race, starting on October 20. No civil aero club possesses the necessary hangar accommodation and the Royal Aero Club will be entirely responsible for the organization of Mildenhall, the hangars of which will consist of two sheds each of 30,000 feet superficies, and an aerodrome 14,000 yards by 11,000 with a maximum run of 15,000 yards. The area is free from fog, the surface is unlikely to become boggy and there are no adjacent tall obstructions.
