302 FLIGHT. MARCH 24, 1938. Sixty-eight Power-flying Clubs and Schools and Forty Gliding Clubs Arranged Topographically IN this list of the British clubs andschools, which is as complete as ourown information and the co-operativespirit oi the different secretaries will permit, the various organisations have been placed under town headings in order that newcomers to the movement may more easily discover the most con- venient centre. It should be explained that those given under the London head- ing are scattered over a wide area, but are those which, to our knowledge, are supported very largely by Londoners. Naturally enough, no hard and fast line may be drawn in this case, but the diffi- culty here has, we think, been amply re- paid by simplicity elsewhere.
