FLIGHT, MARCH 11, 1932 THE A.A. WEATHER REPORTS f [jT-'HE broadcasting station which has been estab- \^) III lished at Heston and is operated by the " A.A." JH_ is already proving of the greatest use to people who travel by air, and particularly to private owners. Several clubs and schools have already installed a wireless receiver so that these regular broadcasts may be received. Amongst these may be mentioned Haldon Aerodrome (Teignmouth 46) and Bristol Airport (Bristol 25144). The beauty of this arrangement lies in the fact that anyone who has not a wireless set will be able to ring them up and get the latest report over the particular route in which they are interested. As will be seen from the map, the reports are sent out—incidentally on wireless apparatus built and installed by The Standard Tele phone & Cable Co., Ltd., Connaught House, Aldwych, W.C.2—for a series of routes which are amongst those most ordinarily used in the country. Further details of these weather reports were published in our issue for November 6 last, while as a matter of interest we repro duce below a completed form of a daily report as sent out from Heston. 0 20 40 60 60 100 -MILES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION WEATHER Broadcast from the A.A, Meteorological Station at Heston, on 4 1.
