ROYAL AERONAUTICAL SOCIETY (Official Notices.) NOTICE is hereby given that, by order of the Council, a Special General Meeting of the Royal Aeronautical Society will be held on Monday, June 8 next, at 5.15 p.m., at the offices of the Society, 7, Albemarle Street, London, W. 1.

The Italian Rome-Australia Flight CONTINUING his flight from Rome to Australia in a Savoia S.16ter flying boat, Col. M. di Pinedo, Chief of Air Staff in Italy, left Tavoy (Burma) on May 19 and reached Mergui (about 130 miles on) in the evening. It was originally intended to make for Puket, Siam, but rough weather prevented this. He set out again at 8 a.m. on May 21, and eventually reached his objective. On May 23 he arrived at Penang, nearly 650 miles from Tavoy, and the following day he added another 400 odd miles by flying to Singapore. The next day, May 25, he arrived at Batavia, in Java, having thus covered about 1,550 miles in a week. A Dinner to Mr. C. R. Fairey ON the 22nd instant a dinner was given by the executive staff of the Fairey Aviation Co., Ltd., to Mr. C. R. Fairey and his co-directors. Mr. Hazell, the Secretary of the company, who was in the chair, in proposing the health of Mr. Fairey, referred to the firm's present favourable position, and to the fact that it had almost completed the first decade of its existence. The occasion was a suitable one, he considered, upon which to make a presentation to Mr. Fairey as a mark of esteem and loyalty of the staff. This took the form of a suit- ably inscribed silver table centre. Mr. Fairey, in responding to the toast, after thanking the staff for the very handsome present, briefly outlined the future policy of the firm. Various other toasts and speeches, also musical items, com- bined to make the evening pass only too quickly, and at the conclusion all were agreed that the event had been a complete success in every respect.
