IN order to obviate the danger of collision between Royal Air Force aircraft and civil aircraft proceeding to or departing from Croydon in con-ditions of bad visibility, civil aircraft will not in any circumstances follow the normal Lympne, Edenbridge, Caterham, Croydon route, but shouldfollow one of the following routes when the height of the lowest cloud is less than 1,000 ft. above sea level or the horizontal visibility is less than 1,000 yards,viz.:— (a) Edenbridge—Merstham—Croydon.(b) Wrotham Valley—Otford—Shoreham—Chelsfield—Croydon. Where necessary, in addition to routes (a) and (b), aircraft mayfollow a compass course :— (c) Lympne—Chelsfield—Croydon,but in such case should, if practicable, fly above the fog, or at least as high as possible.2. When the system as detailed above is put into operation the C.A.T.O Croydou, will:—•(i) Broadcast by means of R/T on 900 metres a FOG NOTICE to all civil aircraft operating in the vicinity of the ordinary Lympne—Croydon route, (ii) Inform all aircraft companies operating from Croydon aerodrome with a view to all departing aircraft being warned.He will also carry out a similar procedure when fog conditions cease to exist.3. Aircraft en route to or from Croydon will on receipt of this FOG NOTICE immediately resort to one of the three routes mentioned in para. 1,In the event of route (c) (the compass course) being selected, the C.A.T.O. Croydon, must, whenever possible, be informed by R/T.W. F. Nicholson. (No. 53 of 1927.) Legal BranchFlight-Lieut. R. W. Stevens resigns his temporary commn. (June 12).

' <•> SIDEWIND WITH the holiday and carnival season in full swing—not to mention a few special events like the Advertisers' Costume Ball at Olympia, on Friday, July 22—it is useful to know where one can be sure of obtaining—and quickly—fancy costumes. Miss Arthur, Leonard's Road, Claygate, Surrey, always has in stock a great variety of costumes for both sexes, not forgetting children, so that something could be found to suit every occasion and at quite reasonable charges. It is worth while sending for a copy of the list of costumes. Miss Arthur is on the telephone, Esher 428—and so is in a position to deal with urgent orders. She is also able to supply at short notice, costumes to special designs and also to provide all sorts of carnival novelties. PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED The Air Pilot Monthly Supplement. No. 33.
