I should like to say that having been a flyer for 2$ years in Sweden, knowing the country thoroughly and speaking the language, and knowing the air route via Rotterdam and Kopenhagen, I shall be- very glad to give advice or assistance and introduction to prominent people in Goteborg to an3rone who is interested in the scheme, some of the conditions to be met with being certainly peculiar.

NOVEMBER 30, 1922 SOCIETY OF MODEL AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS (London Aero-Models Association) DR. HANKIN'S lecture on " The Evolution of Animal Flight " was given before a large number of members and visitors. Mr. F. de P. Green, who occupied the Chair, proposed a hearty vote of thanks, which was enthusiastically passed. On Friday next Messrs. Rippon and Burchell will continue the debate on " Large Models v. Small Models." On Friday, December 8, a smoking concert will be given. On Friday, December 15, a lecture will be given by Mr. W. E. Evans, whose subject will be " Some Points on Wood." All interested in the subject are invited to attend. The Secretary of the Paddington Aero Club (affiliated to S.M.A.E.) reports as follows :—Gliding at Sudbury, Saturday. Present: Messrs. Dixon, Evans, Green and Levy. All had gliders out. Mr. Green obtained several good glides of about 20 sees., the best being 23 sees. Mr. Levy's attempt on record was unsuccessful, but he put up many excellent glides of more than 35 sees., his best attempts being 38, 38I and 39 sees. These glides were timed by Messrs. Evans and Green. Mr. F. de P. Green reports from Wimbledon on Sunday last as follows :—" Several members assembled on Wimbledon Common this morning, but the official observers, Messrs. Houlberg and Hersom, had an easy but somewhat cold time of it in watching several attempts made to tackle the stiff wind which was blowing at the time. Mr. D. A. Pavely made plucky attempts with his big C.A. monoplane, which, after a fairly good flight, alighted rather badly with slight injury. Mr. H. C. Hersom made several flights, but damaged both his machines. Mr. F. de P. Green got off with his originally designed " Farman Tandem Multiplane" (twin screw), which made two short but rather uneasy flights, landing, however, in each case quite safely. Several attempts with gliders were made by Messrs. Rippon, Levy and Johnson, but the weather conditions prevailing rendered any serious attempt quite impracticable. Meetings are held at Headquarters, " The Red Lion Hotel," 20, Great Windmill Street, Piccadilly, W. 1, every Friday at 7.30 p.m. . A. E. JONES. Hon. Sec.
