SOCIETY OF MODEL AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS (London Aero-Models Association) R«. THURSTON'S lecture was attended by a considerable number of members, who were greatly interested. His lecture, illustrated by lantern slides (a number of which were shown for the first time), showed the progress made in aeronautics during the past thirty years, which proved to all the results that can be achieved by research work with the assistance of models. A hearty vote of thanks was proposed by the Chairman, Mr. F. de P. Green, which was enthusiastically carried. On Saturday last, a Sub-Committee met to draw up a programme for the coming season, and made good progress, and hope to report at the Committee Meeting, to be held on Friday, February 2, 1923. Mr. B. K. Johnson has recently been busy preparing drawings of models made by various London members, and it is hoped to have same published from time to time in FLIGHT, the official organ of the Society, for the benefit of country members. Meetings are held at Headquarters, 20, Great Windmill tSreet, Piccadilly, W. 1, every Friday at 7.30 p.m. Full particulars of the Society can be obtained from the Hon. Secretary A. E. Jones, 48, Narcissus Road, West Hampstead, N.W. 6. /.'"- .'•; ::--%;^|;.' -. » ^ * - •',.'' ' """;":. A Display of Aero-Stamps and Covers AN extremely interesting, instructive and enjoyable evening was spent on the 16th inst. in connection with the Annual General Meeting of the Herts Philatelic Society, when Mr. Harold L. Hayman displayed • his collection of aero stamps and covers. These included philatelic records of practically every known occasion when mails have been carried by air, from the Balloon Post of the 1870 Siege of Paris to the present-day air mail services. Most of the specimens were " covers " actually flown on each particular occasion, and were in remarkably fine condition, being clearly post-marked and indicating undoubted genuineness. Amongst the most interesting specimens, may be mentioned the following :—First United Kingdom air mail, London-Windsor and Windsor-London, 1911 ; First Indian air mail (Capt. Windham), 1911 ; various German semi-official aeroplane and airship services, 1911-13 ; first Colombian air mail, 1919 ; first Chinese air mail, 1920 ; Trans-Atlantic, Hawker, Alcock and R.34 ; London-Australia (Ross-Smith); Cairo-Baghdad (various) ; Siam, Syria, etc. In addition to the actual covers—only a certain number of which bore special air-post stamps—separate specimens, including varieties and errors, of air-post stamps issued by different countries were displayed. It was, indeed, a truly remarkable collection, we should think one of, if not the, most complete collections of its kind in existence. As Maj.-Gen. Sir Sefton Brancker, who was present on this occasion, remarked after the display, it recorded the development of the carrying of mails by air in a graphic and interesting manner. Gen. Brancker also made a few remarks on the position of commercial aviation, and especially the possibilities of the air transport of mails. Air Mail Stamps and Correspondence THE Editor of FLIGHT invites correspondents throughout the world to send him letters (addressed to 36, Great Queen Street, Kingsway, London) by their national or local air mails. These will have special and personal acknowledgment in the Editorial columns of FLIGHT, and help to encourage the more general use of the air for mail carrying. The Editor would also greatly appreciate any items of interest or news relating to air mail services and air stamps. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED Department of Overseas Trade.
