' - ; Airships Over London DURING last week Londoners had several good views of two of our rigid airships. On October 11 the R. 32 cruised overhead during the arrival of the Prince of Wales; on the following day both the R 32 and the T?. 33 were cruising above the city while.the Air Conference was sitting, and the latter was also seen on the 13th inst. (then having been aloft for 30 hours), and escorted the train taking the Conference visitors to Waddon. An Aircraft Carrier Salved THE famous Isle of Man steamer Ben-My-Chree, which did duty as an aircraft carrier during the war and was sunk by the Turks off the Asia Minor coast on January 11, 1917, has been salved. The Turks claimed that they had sunk a British cruiser of the Juno type. The vessel has been towed into the Dardanelles but it is not known whether she can be rendered useful for service again. An Aerodrome for Dundee IT appears that the Dundee Corporation is not only alive to the importance of civil aviation, but is taking steps to be prepared when the time arrives for actual operations. It has under consideration a proposal to utilise ground at the Western Esplanade for an aerodrome a purpose for which experts have said it is suitable. A Fast Amsterdam-London Trip THE Dutch mail carried by one of the machines on the H.P. service, piloted by Maj. Foote, reached Cricklewood on October 18 from Amsterdam in 1 hr. 50 mins., the distance of 265 miles being covered at an average speed of 150 miles an hour. This is a new speed " record " for the journey. England-Holland Mail to be Suspended As briefly indicated in our last issue it is likely that the air mail service between Holland and Cricklewood will be discontinued at the end of this month, although a definite decision has not yet been announced. It is pointed out that in the case of the Dutch air mails it is almost impossible owing to the prevalence of fogs over the low-lying country and coast, to secure that regularity of delivery which is an essential of a mail service. Experience has shown that frequently the mail from Amsterdam, scheduled to leave at 7.15 a.m., has not departed until 11 a.m. Import Duties in India IT is stated that aeroplanes and aeroplane engines entering India are now subject to an ad valorem duty of 2J per cent. Another French Meeting So successful was the recent meeting at Buc that it has been practically decided to hold another meeting on similar lines, but this time at Villacoublay. It is stated that M. Flandin, Under-Secretary for Aeronautics, has granted the necessary authorisation for it to take place on the 31st inst. Pegoud's Body to be taken to Paris THE body of M. Pegoud, the French airman, who was killed on August 31, 1915, in an aerial fight at the front near Bel fort, is to be brought to Paris, and interred in the cemetery of Montparnasse, where a monument is to be erected to his memory.
