Aerotransport, Stockholm, will lecture before the Society on " NightAir Mails " on Thursday, March 12, at 6.30 p.m., in the lecture hall of the Royal Society of Arts. In the course of his lecture, Capt. Florman details the night flying atpresent in existence, and the probable lines of development. He details the costs of a 24-hour mail service, the great saving in time, and tho correspondingincrease in trade which will follow. He will detail the organisation necessary both from the point of view of the Post Offices and the air mail companies,the preparation of routes, type of aircraft required, etc. He will state thp difficulties not the least of which is the attitude adopted by those not inthe aircraft world. In this connection, the following is an extract from his lecture :— " The four Scandinavian countries, as well as Germany, Belgium andSwitzerland, which by making economical sacrifices, have improved the mail service to England, have discovered, to their astonishment, that thisimprovement was not looked upon with favour by the English Post Office, which, in a memorandum addressed to their Post Office authorities, evenrequested that the gratuitous and rapid conveyance of mail to England should stop ! However, the Postmaster General, though rather unwillingly,has now consented to take delivery of the aeroplane post, although he seems to have omitted to take such measures for the conveyance of mail bags toand from Croydon Aerodrome and the local post offices as are necessary for ensuring the full benefits of an aeroplane mail."
