The Club Wishes to congratulate the Yorkshire Club on the excellentorganisation of their meeting and heartily sympathises with them on their misfortune in having such very bad weather on both days of the meeting.The members who attended the meeting wish to thank the Club for their hospitality which was fully appreciated. NORFOLK &. NORWICH AERO CLUB KIM'OKT for period ending October 2 (21 days).—Total flying hinir, 3o hrs. Instructions with ("apt. (•. F. Lines :•- Messrs. A. Cooper, H. Varden- Smith, R. Harmer, A. T- Finch, G. F. Surtees, H. Neavp, H. Mack. Soloists :- Messrc. H. Birchal, R. Harmer. W. P. Cuhitt, H. Pank. W. H. Kanisry. R. W. F. Moore. F. Gough. Passengers with Capt. Lines :—Miss Scarles, with Mr. Moore : Mr. A.Sutton. The weather during the above period defies all description, although manyof our active merchants have been heard to use unusual expressions, and the boy Herbert appeared on the scene of inactivity with an umbrella com-pletely unfurled (but only once). In addition to this piece of excitement he carefully attempted to place our " Moth " under cover per the keyhole,and, alas ! two further days were lost. Most of the flying was done between showers, and it speaks volumes iorour instructor when one notes that 3(1 hrs. have been squeezed in and tile manner in which members have constantly turned up, is very encouragingindeed. Little Cubitt has been at it again, qualified after 4.! hrs. solo for an '" A "licence, sat right on the spot in both landings, also Mr. Pank has qualified for his. and Mr. Moore called at the Air Ministry and got his right on thespot. He was extremely favourably impressed with his reception at the A.M. Several other members are ready to take the tests. At a recent meeting of the committee it was decided to allow membersto bring a friend along and participate in aviation on payment of a fee of os. per day. This to be known as a " Guest's Fee." The advantages of thisare obvious ; many memt>ers have friends down for a very short time, but have been unable to make them air-minded under 'ii\s., plus usual rivingcharges, it will be especially appreciated by " A " merchants. Our '* Moth" QX will be ready for collection on Friday next. Capt.Lines is taking the loaned machine back, and collecting ours at Stag Lam-. Mr. H. O. Bennett is accompanying him as a passenger. It is hoped thatreasonable weather will prevail. H. O. B. has done a terrific amount of work for the club as Hon. Secretary. In case one is again delinquent with reports, members are reminded that" As the nights get longer the days grow shorter, and the lateness of the evenings becomes earlier. SUFFOLK AEROPLANE CLUB REPORT for week ending October 2 :—Flying time, 3 hrs. 20 mins.Instruction with Mr. Carnegie :—Miss D. Creasy, Dr. Sleigh, G. Hutlcv. With Sergt. Lowdell : S. Schofield, N. Creasy. Passengers : The Hon. Lady Bailey, Mrs. Courtney X. Prentice. Mrs. Mait-land. Solo :—Courtney Prentice. Our President, the Hon. Lady Bailey, paid us an unexpected visit in her" Moth " on Monday evening, and later had a flight in our " Bluebird." We have- now secured an excellent permanent aerodrome at Hadleigh (Suffolk).This was a war time 'drome, and will probably be remembered by many. We hope to " move in " by October 11. On Wednesday afternoon the undercarriage of our " Bluebird " collapsedfor no apparent reason, our instructor having made a perfect landing. Unfor- tunately considerable damage was done. This has held up flying for the timebeing. We are hoping that Messrs. Blackburns will realise how seriously this is affecting us and loan us another machine at once. Several of the memlKTswere ready for solo and our overhead charges still have to be met ; this is a severe blow to a club in its infancy. Our neighbouring club recently had asimilar accident and another " Moth " was loaned to them within a few hours. This excellent service is a tremendous help towards the success of a club,and well worth copying. London Gazette. September 27. 1927. General Duties Branch I'. N.
