Bulman, with Mrs. Bulman, Paul and Duncan. without a slot, and " Autogired " without a windmill in a remarkable fashion. A number of passengers were also taken up for joy rides in various machines. Amongst the " guests " we noticed a number of well-known personalities of the aviation world. Of course, one of these was the energetic D. of C.A., Sir Sefton Brancker. Of the pilots present we spotted Miss Spooner, Capt. S. Burt, Mr. A. C. M. Jackaman, Mr. Malcolm, Mr. Ivor McClure, Capt. Percival, and a great many others whose faces were familiar, but whose names were elusive. Altogether, except for the unhappy opening, the " At Home " was a very successful affair, because even if the programme was not carried out as planned, the occasion showed indications that the Household Brigade Flying Club is going to be a very live and big one. We hope to have something more to say about it in a future issue of FLIGHT. Norwich Aero Club Ball THE annual ball of the Norfolk and Norwich Aero Club held on November 9, at the Arlington Rooms, Norwich, was a success. The club had to refuse nearly 200 applications for tickets, 300 being the comfortable capacity for the Arling- ton Rooms. The ballroom was suitably decorated with propellers, aeroplane pictures, and models, while the sitting- out rooms were tastefully decorated with plants and ferns. During the evening an excellent cabaret entertainment was provided. This proved a most popular feature. Supper was served in the Tapestry Room by Prince's. Amongst those present were the Lord Mayor of Norwich (Mr. H. P. Gowen) and the Lady Mayoress, Mr. H. N. Holmes (president of the club), Mr. A. A. Rice (chairman) and Flight-Lieut. Webster. Sir Sefton Branker, Director of Civil Aviation, wrote apologis- ing for his inability to attend. Parties were brought by Capt. Harmer, Mr. J. Hardy, Capt. H. J. Cator, Capt. Dawson Paul, and Mr. J. Read. The success of the ball reflected great credit on the committee who had worked under the chairmanship of Mrs. H. J. Cator, with Mr. J. Morse as secretary. Dancing was continued until 2 o'clock. New Instructor for Scottish Flying Club FLIGHT-LIEUT. WILLIAM JONES has resigned his position as chief instructor to the Scottish Flying Club. He has been succeeded by Capt. Robert Stirling, "who was pilot instructor to the Beardmore Flying School, Renfrew, which has now closed down. 990
