602 /^jjjSGn? JUNE 15, 1939 THE ROYAL AERO CLUB News and Official Notices for the Week Ended June 10 Deauville Rally Change F RENCH national interests have demanded that a special display of aircraft should be held at Le Touquet on the date that had previously been arranged for the Deauville Air Rally, July 15. Consequently, at the request of the Aero-Club de France and of If. Andre, of Deauville, it has been necessary to agree to putting back the Deauville Rally to July 22-24. These dates coincide with those for the Plantagenet Rally at Angers, which is being held by the Aero-Club de 1'Ouest de la France. As a result of these two meetings being held at the same time, France will become the European centre of pleasure flying during the week-end concerned. It is expected that a record number of British pilots will cross the Channel for these two events, and it is to be noted that they are immediately followed on July 28 by the Deauville-Vichy-Cannes Rally. Most picturesque will be the Plantagenet Rally, which starts on July 22, and British pilots will be the guests of the Aero- Club de 1'Ouest de la France. The reception takes place at the airport of Angers-Avrille, and the same evening there is a dinner offered by the Club in a " picturesque site " ; afterwards there is a " night festival of the rural cavalry." In default of any further details as to what this festival will be, we can only refer to the official programme, which describes it as a " parading of cavalry dressed up in French uniforms of former days." The rest of the meeting consists of attractive luncheons and garden parties, and altogether the Plantagenct Rally, besides reminding English visitors of the history they did not learn at school, looks like being one of the high-lights of the pleasure flying season. All particulars can be obtained from the Royal Aero Club. For the Deauville-Vichy-Cannes Race, there are prizes amounting to 21,500 francs and also numerous cups and souvenirs. Competitors will fly direct to Vichy, starting from Deauville on July 29. On the way they must try to find and mark on their maps a certain number of white crosses, which, measuring 10 metres by 2 metres, will be placed less than 1 km. to the right or left of the direct course Deauville-Vichy. On July 30 competitors will fly from Vichy to Cannes in two stages; the total length of these stages will be under 450 km. Flying Club Inspection A HIGH degree of efficiency is attributed to the light aero plane clubs in the first report of Mr. H. A. de S. Barrow, Inspector of the Training at Subsidised Light Aeroplane Clubs, appointed under the Air Ministry. Using an Avro Cadet, he has toured many of the aerodromes where training is in pro gress and he has subjected instructors and club members to tests, both in his own and club machines. He has expressed a view that the standard of training now attained is high. C.A.G. Training Loophole AN attempt is being made to deal with a loophole which has appeared recently in the regulations governing the admis sion of, members to the Civil Air Guard. The point in question concerns those who, having undertaken a certain amount of training at the specially favourable rates applying to Civil Air Guard members, subsequently give up their membership. If, after six hours' flying, a licence is not taken out, the Club concerned suffers a serious financial loss and the country does not obtain the return which the full operation of the scheme is supposed to give. It was agreed at a meeting of the General Council of Asso ciated Light Aeroplane Clubs that the Commissioners should be asked to consider what steps could be taken.
