GRAZIANI, Air Attache at the Italian Embassy, left town during last week-end for Switzerland. m m m m Joy-Riding at Southend. SEAPLANE joy-riding within easy reach of London is to be a feature this summer. A new company has been formed, under the name of " The Seaplane and Pleasure Trip Company, Ltd.," which is about to establish itself at Southend-on-Sea. The company will use Short seaplanes with seating accommodation for four, and it is the intention to ferry passengers out to the machines in motor-boats, taking them for a short " flip " at a very reasonable charge, and depositing them again off the pier, in the waiting motor- boat. The undertaking is to be welcomed because it affords people who have made flights in land machines an opportunity of experienoing the pleasure of flying over the sea, with its shipping, etc. Thus great numbers of Londoners who might not otherwise have had an opportunity of going up will be able to do so, while a scarcely less important thing is that thousands will be watching the machines and the flying from the shore, thus becoming familiar with and interested in aircraft. Another side which should not be overlooked is that the company is providing work for seaplane pilots, who are thus enabled to remain actively engaged in • aviation, and who would be available in case of national emergency. We understand that there are still a few vacancies for pilots, who should apply to the company at the headquarters : Carlton House, Regent Street, S.W. 1. Aero Golfing Society : " Flight " Cup ON Thursday, April 26 last, the Aero Golfing Society held their Spring Meeting at Hadley Wood Golf Club, and some good play took place for the Society's Spring Challenge Cup, presented by the proprietors of FLIGHT. The winner of this event was Lieut -Col. W A. Bristow (90 less 14 = 76), and the runner-up P. Barry (88 less 6 = 82). Bogey Four Ball Matches : Eng. Com. W. Briggs and P. Barry (2 up),and Sir Henry White Smith and Lieut.-Col. \V A. Bristow (2 up). On the play off Briggs and Barry won Mr. F. Cumbers, of the British Cellulose Company, kindly presented mementoes to the winners. The Institution of Aeronautical Engineers THE last lecture of the session of the Institution of Aeronautical Engineers will be held, at the Engineers' Club, MAY 3, 1923 Coventry Street, May 11, when Major Maurice Wright, A.F.C., will give a lecture oa " Low Power Flying." Cinematograph pictures will be shown, and a very interesting meeting is anticipated. A discussion will follow the lecture, and any who are genuinelyliiiterested, and would like to attend and join in the discussion, are invited to do so without ticket. The meeting opens at 6.30 p.m. There will be no advance copy. m x m m SOCIETY OF MODEL AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS (London Aero Models Association) THE Council Meeting held on the 25th ult. was too short to deal with the agenda, and will be continued at Headquarters on Wednesday, May 9, at 8 p.m. Good work was done, however. Amongst other things an amendment was passed to the rule treating with " Protectors ou Models," which has been a grievance for a long time. On Friday last Mr. Burchell gave an extremely interesting demonstration of fuselage covering, which was very well received. Visitors are cordially invited to the Society's meetings, which take place every Friday at 7.30 p.m. at 20, Great Windmill Street, Piccadilly. Competition Secretary : C.
