STEVENSON, Assistant Secretory. eJtidom EXCEPT for a fine flight in a high wind by a BE 2c, there was nothing doing on Saturday afternoon last. On Sunday, however, weather conditions were more favourable and a good afternoon's work was put in, consisting of the usual exhibition and passenger flights and school work. The following official log of the afternoon's flying, as announced and recorded by the megaphone man, is typical of the airwork now to be seen at Hendon : — Winter ... Pupil ... Pupil ... Pupil ...

It will be noticed that according to the official log Friend Russell, who ascended at 4.35, has not yet returned. An intelligent person once enquired of one of our famed pilots what would happen should he be unable to stop his engine when away high in the skies—" I should just have to go on flying until I starved to death, madam," was his ready reply. We sincerely trust that a similar fate has not overtaken Russell. In case of such a catastrophe, and taking into consideration the lapse of time, we suggest that a fast scout be despatched with provisions.
