CIVIL FLYING.
"'‘ agist STRIDES IN RECENT - YEARS. By Cable —Press Association —Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received May 1, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, April 30. “AVhisky, sir?” said the _ agil* steward in a spic and span white jacket, and white peaked cap, standing on the blue pile carpeted corridor of- a giant plane, balancing a salver, containing bottles, glasses, and syphon, while earth vans 4000 ft below, bathed in spring sunshine. It was the ‘‘City of Glasgow,” one of four new triple engined “silver wing” air liners, engaged in the first of the afternoon tea pleasure trips over London, under the auspices of the Imperial Airways. The aerial waiter had thoroughly mastered his air legs, and walked briskly up and down the gangway ministering to the needs of tho passengers—a striking commentary on the vast strides of civil flying. .;
