FLIGHT, SEPTEMBER 9, 1932 Fraulein Elly Beinhorn (left) arriving with Fraulein S. Mirow in one of the new Heinkel's. (FLIGHT Photo.) tion by the British Aviation Hospitality Association, at which the guests were re ceived by Lady Simon, and a dinner and dance at Poulsen's Club on the river at Datchet. As the evening wore on it be came evident that the right bug had in fected the party, for they soon, "so to speak," got going, and enjoyed themselves in a thorough mixing without much per suasion from the Committee. As a place for an evening's entertainment the Club is ex cellent, and the proximity of the river un doubtedly helped in no small measure. The electric canoes were in great demand. No sooner did one return to the landing stage than a new " crew " took it over. The intricasies of the motor baffled at least one English pilot, however, who, being more familiar with Gipsy III engines, had omitted to get his Ground Engineer's licence for this type of propulsive force. Anxiety was felt for some time over his failure to arrive back, but as he had many times proved himself a most excellent navi gator, he was " left to it." We under stand that he eventually returned trium phantly in the small hours. On the right is a table of those foreign visitors who reached Heston. The next day dawned foully, and it was soon evident that, that notoriously stickv trip to Bristol, was to be even stickier than usual. Conditions became even worse when we got beyond Bath, and we blessed the wide comfortable cockpit of the " Blue bird " (Hermes II), which enabled us to handle our maps with ease despite the wind and rain. On the way down two German " Klemms " took station on us, but one of these thought better of it and returned, as we heard later, to Reading. The other hung on grimly and trustingly until within a few miles of the aerodrome, when he de cided that we were too far south, and so shot off into the mist, out of which he did not arrive to land for another f hr. ! At Bristol we were all guests of the Rt. Hon. the Lord Mayor of Bristol and the Bristol and Wessex Aero Club, at a lunch served in the Airport Hangar. The Lord Mayor (Aid. J, H. Inskip) offered an apology for the weather, and said that it was a triumph on the part of the visitors that such a large percentage of starters had reached the aerodrome.
