At their extensive wharfsalong the Thames by Fulham which have a long river frontage and cover many acres of ground, they are ablewith their latest crane to ship aircraft or other loads well out in the river, thus enabling speedy shipment without hindranceof tides. They have shipped for many aircraft companies in the past and continue to do so. They have large storagespace at Fulham and modern buildings equipped with various cranes. Mr. J. C. Mount himself was one of the founder-members of the Royal Aero Club. Flight Lieutenant (Qr.-Mstr. Medical) J. M. Maxwell, to R.A.F. Hospital Cranwell, 9.10.28. Flight Lieutenant (Dental) \V. R.
