FLIGHT, APRIL 26, 1934 TO AUSTRIA AT WHITSUN British private owners invited on organised tour A FLIGHT through Austria has been organised bythe Austrian Aero Club, and Prince Kinsky, thePresident, has invited British private owners to participate in it. This flight, which is under the patronage of the Federal Minister of Commerce and Com- munications, His Excellency Fritz Stockinger, will be arranged between May 19 and May 27. On the morning of the first day the participants will foregather at Altenrhein aerodrome, and they will spend the night at Bregenz, to which place they will be taken by motor car or steamer. The following day the party will fly to Innsbruck, the next dav to Salzburg, on Tues- day to Linz for lunch, and then to Vienna, where Wednes- day and Thursday will be spent. On Friday morning they will fly to Graz for lunch and to Klagenfurt for dinner. On Saturday there will be trips from Klagenfurt, and on Sunday to Gastein for lunch and to Innsbruck for the night. Apart from the actual daily journeys, excursions are arranged at each stopping place, and the inclusive charge lor the nine days is 300 Schillings, which includes hotel bills, all meals, and the cost of transport by motor car, steam boat, mountain railways, as well as entrance fees and tips. There will be no landing or housing charges at aerodromes, but the cost of fuel and oil must naturally be borne by the owners. Until May 1 entrance will cost 50 Schillings, and afterwards, until May 14, 100 Schillings. Entries accompanied by these fees should be made to the Secretary of the Osterreichischer Aero Club, IV, Argen- tinierstrasse 29. The entry fee will be deducted from the cost of the trip, which must be paid on arrival at Bregenz. The Austrian Aero Club have in the past proved them- selves the most generous of hosts, and the other flights they have organised have invariably been extremely enjoy- able affairs. Everyone, therefore, who can is well advised to go over. TELLING THE MAN-IN-THE-STREET Imperial Airways' Exhibition at Charing Cross T NTERESTED people of all ages are thronging the book- *• ing hall at Charing Cross Underground Station, where a display of models and photographs dealing with modern air transport, staged by Imperial Airways, opened last Monday. There are part-sectioned models of the " Heracles " and " Atalanta "-type machines, and others of the " Scylla," emphasis in each case being put upon passenger accommodation rather than on the purely technical aspect. Impressive enlargements show the operations of Imperial Airways in all their Dranches, many of them illustrating aerodromes and rest-houses on the Empire route. There are also a number of exceedingly interesting photographs taken during the construction of the " Scylla." Uniformed representatives of Imperial Airways are present to answer questions—and they are having a busy time. The display remains open until May 5. SERVICE MOUNTAINEERING : Part of the work covered by No. 30 Bomber Squadron, stationed at Mosul, in Northern Iraq, is to patrol the mountains of Kurdistan, on the borders of Iraq and Turkey and Persia. This is an extremely hazardous flight and is carried out weekly. The patrol lies over mountainous country where for more than an hour engine failure or any other cause of a forced landing would mean a certain crash. This picture was taken during an actual reconnaissance patrol made by three '' Wapitis " of the No. 30 Bomber Squadron over the mountains of Kurdistan, in Northern Iraq. 415
