Lloyd's and Aviation Risks LAST week at the invitation of Mr. Sydney Boulton, a number of underwriters, members of Lloyd's Committee, etc.. attended a dinner at Claridge's, being the annual function given by the Chairman of Lloyd's. Mr. Boulton, after dealing with the earlier toasts of the evening, when referring to one of the guests, Major-General Sir Frederick Sykes, gave an appreciative reference to the work of the Chief of Civil Aviation. Mr. Boulton said that when the question of compiling an aviation record was brought forward, Lloyd's offered its services, and, the offer having been accepted, established an aviation record which they hoped would in time equal in importance the register of Lloyd's Register of Shipping. Possibly at some future time the Shipping Register would be in a museum and the aviation record would have taken its place. Major-General Sir Frederick Sykes said the co-operation of Lloyd's was one of the greatest factors they were able to obtain in the building up of an aerial commercial transport service. In the early days Mr. Charles de Rougemont helped very considerably as a member of the advisory committee for civil aviation, and Mr. Sydney Boulton had since helped in every way possible. It would have been impossible to build up an Air Force on a fighting basis only. What was needed was a great reserve, and the only way to obtain that was to establish a commercial air transport service. Lloyd's had helped in innumerable ways, and had taken the lead in insurance in regard to aircraft in England as against other countries. 67 ^ J*
