AUGUST 28, 1924 From the Rhon Meeting : The Espenlaub V gets away. This machine is num bered 29 in our table of par ticulars. three or four firms have, for various reasons, refrained from entering machines has necessarily reduced the number below that originally expected. * * * LAST week we referred to the attempt being made to form a light 'plane club in Yorkshire. We now learn that a meet ing was held at Harrogate on August 18, at which it was decided that a light aeroplane club be formed and that it should be called " The Yorkshire Light 'Plane Club." The object of this club is to gather together a membership of those interested in flying, to teach flying, and to provide and maintain a number of single-seater and two-seater machines for the use of members. The following temporary officers were elected : H. Gledhill, Chairman ; S. Bates, Hon. Treasurer ; E. T. W. Addyman, Hon. Secretary. * * * THE following minutes were adopted : (1) That the club be called " The Yorkshire Light 'Plane Club." (2) That the Hon. Secretary should communicate with the Air Ministry with a view to obtaining the Government subsidies and condi tions of their grant. (3) That a general meeting be held on the first Monday evening following the light 'plane trials at Lympne. Messrs. Blackburn and Oldroyd, of the Blackburn Aeroplane' Co., of Leeds and Brough, were in attendance, and promised their support. Those interested or desiring further information should communicate with the Hon. Secretary, Mr. E. T. W. Addyman, The White House, Star- beck, Harrogate. The place of the first meeting has not yet been decided, but those wishing to be present should write to the Hon. Secretary, and should make a note of the date, October 6. * * * THE Rhon meeting in Germany is now in full swing, and we are able to give this week a table of data relating to the machines taking part. This table, published on page 542, has been compiled from a somewhat similar table published From the Rhon Meeting : No. 46 (" Moritz ") and No. 35 (" Mar- garete ") in the air together. On this occasion " Margarete " is not carrying a passenger. •:• 541
