Northampton Aerodrome was one of the first started by any city in the country. They wanted every city to have an aerodrome, just as they had a railway station, because it would soon be absolutely neces- sary. He concluded by wishing; the club every success in the future. The luncheon was attended by, amongst others, Lord and Lady Erskine, Lord Bray, the Mayor of Higham Ferrers (Councillor Frank Walker, J.P.), the ex-Mayor of Northamp- ton (Councillor J. Peach), the Mayor-elect (Councillor A. E. Rav, J.P.), Maj. \V. Hughes, the Hon. T. Verney Cave, Mr. T. Illingworth, Mr. J. Jeyes, Councillor T. Wareing, Bombing Event at Northampton: Capt. H. Broad diving to attack the elusive car with bombs (bags of flour) in the " Gipsy - Moth " ; an interesting event in which many pilots tried their hand. The continuance of joy- riding slightly interfered with movements. Capt. E. W. Percival, on his Avro "Avian," with which he gained second place at the French Light 'PlaneTrials, planted some excellent shots. [" FLIGHT " Photograph 855
