THE FATBFINDEB DOES BY STAB LIGHT! Air Vice-Marshal D. C. T. Eennett, C.B., C.B.E., D.S.O., formerly head of the R.A.F. Pathfinder Force, and now of British South American Airways, himself captained the successful " proving" flight on the Rio de Janeiro service in the Avro Lancastrian " Star Light." Inaugurating London's new airport, Heath Row, Lord Winster (Minister of Civil Aviation) is seen at the microphone, before the departure. Air Vice-Marshal Bennett (holding a case), praising the Lancastrian from his personal experience, said that it had " all the attributes of a good airliner—comfort, speed and safety." Once more Avro leads the way—with a reputation that will be still further enhanced when the Avro Tudor comes into service.ItO - LANCASTRIAN A- V. ROE & CO., LIMITED.
