Mrs. Eliott-Lynn has now flown her new " Avian " to Ireland. On July 25 she left Woodford at 11 a.m. and reached Flint half-an-hour later. She crossed to Ireland by the short sea route and arrived at Belfast at 3 p.m. Later she gol to Dublin where a landing was made in Phoenix Park, and where a welcome awaited her by Free State Officers. This flight was undertaken with the object of demonstrating the attributes of the " Avian " !ignt 'plane to those interested in the proposed Irish Flying Club. <•> The Scottish Flying Club's Aerodrome WE are informed by the Secretary of the Scottish Flying Club Movement that notification has been received from the Air Ministry agreeing to the use of Renfrew Aerodrome in the event of the proposed Scottish Flying Club maturing. The permission is of a temporary nature, and the favour has been granted owing to the fact that the various sites that might be considered would require at least 12 or 15 months' attention before they could be made usable. The terms and conditions are yet to be arranged, but the foregoing intimation con- s derably lightens the work of the committee. 523
