t~ The New French Under Air Secretary " -M. FLANDIN, the French Under Secretary of State for Air,has been followed by M. Laurent Eynac, who took over his port- folio at the Avenue Rapp on the 18th instant. Those who willbe supporting M. Eynac in his new position will be M. Bairet as chief of Civil Aviation, and Commandant Casse for themilitary side. The former, who was previously attached to the Fuel Department of the Government with M. Eynac,was previously connected with M. Besnard in 1916, the then Under-Secretary for French Aeronautics.Commandant Casse remains, as with M. Flandin, in his regular position. M. Eynac himself, who was Vice Presidentof the Parliamentary group for Aviation, has had considerable flying experience during the War, and should therefore beable to appreciate its importance and speak authoritatively when aviation is dealt with by the French Government. A French TransferTHE Compagnie General Transaerienne have, it is announced, turned over their concession for aerial post serviceto the Compagnie des Messageries Aeriennes.

The Italian Zepp. no More FROM Rome comes the announcement that the Zeppelinairship '• L. 61," the first of the two German airships recently handed over to Italy, has been so badly damaged whenlanding after an exhibition flight before King Victor, that it has been decided to completely break up the vessel, thedifficulty being to obtain the necessary material for setting right the damage. A German Company's Record SOME statistics issued by the Deutsche Luftrehdereirecently are interesting, to say the least. During the period February 5, 1919, to November 26, 1920, the machinesbelonging to this Society completed 6,208 flights, covered an aggregate distance of one million kilometres, carried 5.545passengers, and some 33,000 kilograms of freight. Another German Aviation CombineTHE Handley Page Berlin correspondent reports another German aviation combine for linking up the cities ofEastern Germany with Berlin. It is known as the Lloyd- Ostflug-Danzig, and is a combination of the North GermanLloyd of Bremen, Junkers Flugzeugwerke of Dessau, the Albatros Gesellschaft and the Ostdeutschen Landwerk-staetten. Danzig is to be one of the centres of operation, and a regular service is already in operation between thatport and Koenigsberg and thence to Berlin. Negotiations are proceeding with a view to an agreement for flying overthe Polish corridor. The passenger rate between Danzig and Berlin is to be 900 marks (at present value under £4),including carriage between the various aerodromes. Junkers limousines are to be employed in the service and arrangementshave been made so that passengers may book at any of the branches of the North German Lloyd. MarsKe-by-the-Sea Aerodrome AcquiredIT is reported that the above aerodrome, which has for some time been vacated by the authorities, is likely toshortly become a busy hive of work, in the hands of Messrs. Hughes, Bolckow and Co., Ltd., of Middlesbrough,Newcastle and Blyth, who, it is stated, have acquired the four huge concrete hangars, together with 30 acres of theland, to be used in the first place for concentrating and the subsequent disposal of vast stores of material from dumpsin France recently purchased by the firm.

January 18 the petition of Alfred Herbert, Ltd., for the compulsory wind-ing up of Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., again came before Mr. Justice Astbury.
