2 FLIGHT. ADVERTISEMENTS. MARCH 24, 1938. [PILLAR OF FIBFl BOUNDARY LIGHTS installed at Belfast Harbour Airport A machine in danger of colliding with a "PILLAR OF FIRE" Aerodrome Boundary Beacon first hits one of these spring loaded anchoring wires which immediately snaps, allowing the two remaining wires to snatch the beacon over. Damage to both machine and beacon is thus obviated. The exclusive " PILLAR OF FIRE" design gives penetrating illumination skywards with brilliant floodlighting earthwards. Officially approved by the Air Ministry, acclaimed by Air Authorities, preferred by Pilots. Send for descriptive booklet to CARDIFF FOUNDRY AND ENGINEERING CO LTD HURMAN ST., CARDIFF THE BROOKLANDS BULLETIN: 2 11IN BROOKLANDS TO-NIGHT -ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON B. 5. 5MAUMAN, Secretary. Brooklands Flying Club. I suppose that one of the most popular programmes in all the B.B.C.'s history must be " IN TOWN TO- NIGHT." Its triumph is its simplicity ; with no need to hunt for THE RADIO TIMES one just tunes in to National at 7.30, knowing that there's always something novel, interesting or diverting to listen to. I want the same feeling to apply to Brooklands on Sunday afternoon. It isn't fair to expect you — interested in aviation though you may be—to study the announcements in the Trade Press week by week, just to find out when you can visit an aero- drome and see something more than the routine of tuition in progress. We, as a Flying Club, believe that we are one of the man-in-the-street's links with civil aviation, and that he has a right to expect from us something progressive, interesting, or out-of-the- ordinary to repay him for his coming down. That in fact, is the principle we have followed since January of this year. Every week I rack my brains to arrange something worth watching for the next Sunday afternoon. Sometimes it all goes swimmingly, and I feel like the Chief of " IN TOWN TO-NIGHT " him- self ; sometimes there are hitches and my emotions are quite different ! But some topical item never fails to appear as promised—and that programme will proceed regularly every Sunday until the end of September. To give you an idea of our scope, we have already had demonstrations of the Chilton Monoplane, Cygnet, Avian with Tricycle Undercarriage, miniature displays by famous aerobatic pilots, and height judg- ing and landing com- petitions. I shall look forward to meeting you on the Tarmac, any Sunday at about 3 p.m. Secretary. THE HOME OF BRITISH CIVIL AVI ON
