The properties are to be used or sold as may be wished, the only stipulation being that any proceeds from the sale are to be ear-marked for scholarships at one or other of the public schools for the sons of officers of the Flying Services who died in the War. Amsterdam-Hamburg Service Started A REGULAR service between Hamburg and Amsterdam commenced operations on August 3, this being one of the links in the chain of services which is to connect up Stock- holm, Copenhagen, -Hamburg, Bremen, Amsterdam and London. The Amsterdam-London Service OWING to the increasing popularity of the air service fromHolland, it was necessary to charter a special Handley Page on August 5 to carry twelve passengers from Amsterdam toLondon. It is reported from Rotterdam that two Fokker aeroplanes will be added to the England-Holland air service.These aeroplanes will be equipped with wireless telephone. The Paris-Geneva 3ervice FOR their service between Paris and Geneva, the Frenph Aero Transport Company propose to use Sopwith three- seater machines, fitted with 130 h.p. Clerget engines. The charge will work out to about ^20 for the single journey; return tickets, available for a fortnight, £30. The journey over the distance of 280 miles is estimated to take three and a half hours. The Copenhagen-London Service A FEW details are to hand from Copenhagen regarding the services of the Danish Aeronautic Excursion Company which were due to start on August 7. There will be daily communication between Copenhagen and Berlin via Malmoe and Warnemunde, while between Copenhagen and London there will be a tri-weekly service via Warnemunde, Hamburg, and Amsterdam. The first trip to London was to have started an Sunday at 8.30 a.m., Amsterdam being reached at 7 p.m. The start from Amsterdam was timed for Monday at 6 a.m., and it was expected that London would be reached at 9 a.m. Over the Alps *• BY way of celebrating his 1,000th flight, the Swiss aviator Charles Koepke made a trip above the Alps. Starting from Thoune, he flew over the Schingelkopf, the Faulhorn, Meiringen, the Grande-Scheldegg, then along the upper valley of the Lanterbrunnen back to the point from which he started. The Meeting at Buc FOR their meeting which is to be held at the Buc aero- drome on October T, 2 and 3, the Aero Club of France has been promsied the co-operation of the French Army and Navy flying services and the various branches of the aircraft industry in France. It is hoped that one of the attractions will be a Zeppelin, the L. 120, if she is delivered in time. Flying Popular in Iceland ^ EVEN in Iceland there is talk of starting air services, and seemingly with every prospect of success. For some time, a company, of which Mr. Franck Friedrickson, who served in the R.F.C., is a leading spirit, has been giving exhibitions at Reykjavik, and more than 70 passengers were taken up during the month of July. It is proposed to give exhibitions in the chief towns, and then later on to start regular services between the towns. 895
