to the officials, including Messrs. H. P. Martin and G. N. Handasyde, F. H. Campkin and many others for their energetic labDurs during the dav. THE temporary withdrawal of the restrictions on flying to the Continent has enabled the business value of the aero plane to be demonstrated. In one instance the managing director of a well-known firm, being summoned from Liver pool to an urgent interview in Paris, came up to London by train on the Monday night, and telephoned for an aero plane to be ready at Hendon at 7.30 a.m. next morning to take him on by air to Paris. The machine, an Airco 9, piloted by Capt. Shaw, ascended punctually at the time stated, and, in spite o. cloud and rain, reached the aerodrome at Le Bourget, near Paris, at 10 a.m., having averaged a speed of 100 miles an hour. Whereupon the aerial traveller, Mr. Pilkington, 0; Pilkington Brothers, motored at once into Paris. On the following day, Wednesday, having completed his business he returned again to London by air in the same machine. This successful journey was, it is interesting to note, the first in connection with the temporary withdrawal of the restrictions on flying between London and Paris. THE Selsdon Aero and Engineering Co., Ltd., have now- commenced operations at Somerton Works, Cowes, Isle of Wight. Material or supplies should be advised to the works to which they are sent, and invoices forwarded to the central buying department at Sanderstead Road, Croydon, to which all monthly statements should be rendered. IT is the little details that count, and so " K.L.G." plugs were fitted on the " Sunbeam-Coatalen " engines of the British airship " R.34 " in her victory flight across the Atlantic. Naturally they gave every possible satisfaction and largely contributed to the success of the voyage out and home. IT is a noteworthy fact that " K.L.G." plugs were used on all British machines flying the Atlantic—first on the Sop- with (Hawker-Grieve) machine, then on the " Vickers- Vimy " (Alcock-Brown) and in-the British airship " R.34." All were available ; " K.L.G." were chosen 1 BY reason of its peninsular formation, Denmark has ahvavs suffered many of the handicaps of isolation. The tedious sea journey to the other countries of Scandinavia or to Britain, or the inconvenient train route through Hamburg to the rest of Europe, have militated against the speediest trade relations, and to obviate these limitations extensive aerial services are now being organised. The Danish Government has taken a decided step in the direction of the speedy development of aerial navigation between Denmark and the neighbouring countries, by acquiring a considerable number of " Bristol " biplanes on behalf of the nation, and they are now on their way to Denmark. Accompanying them are a number of skilled British airmen, who are to act as instructors of the Danish pilots to be employed on the projected services. MESSRS. CIJLLON, LTD., are branching out in several direc tions, and notably in Spain, where they have opened a branch establishment. The address is Baraquillo 17, Madrid, where they are represented by Mr. T. F. Cowan. They have already received orders from the Spanish Government for their scheme " A," scheme " B " and " red A " scheme. ON Monday of last week a fire of no small dimensions broke out in the spraying room of Aero Coverings, Ltd., at their works in Willesden Lane. Mr. D. Hutchinson, the managing- director, was hastily summoned, and realising the gravity of the position in a moment, directed the firemen to turn their chief efforts to the store of doping material. Great credit is due to the excellent behaviour and prompt action of the members of the staff. The ground floor and a large portion of the stock were badly damaged by the water, although a considerable number of aeroplane wings were moved out of harm's way. The works were, thanks to the energies of all, practically working at normal speed within three or four days. MESSRS. JOHN BIRCH AND CO., LTD., export engineers, of London, announce that they have undertaken the Overseas agency of William Beardmore and Co., Ltd., the well-known Glasgow engineering firm, who have during the War produced a large number ot airships, aeroplanes, and aero engines, among many other " munitions." The Beardmore work shops are rapidly being converted from War to peace pro duction of metals and machinery for distribution throughout the world. The Birch organisation, already far-reaching, is being further extended to meet these new requirements.
