22 AUGUST 1952 FLIGHT 7 "Over the land or over the sea.., fr*#p«r Aquila Airways Limited write 'Since the Spring of 1949 we have been operating scheduled services between Southampton and Madeira, with 'shuttle' services between Lisbon and Madeira, using ' Hythe' and, more recently, 'Solent' aircraft. When the services to Madeira were mooted many were sceptical about the possibility of operating with any degree of regularity into the comparatively unsheltered harbour of Funchal. Our experience over these routes during the past three years, however, has proved that the behaviour of the aircraft, both in the air and on the water, has been beyond reproach ... From the passenger angle, we have no doubt that the travelling public has a definite predilection for the roomy comfort of the flying boat. Both'Hythes'and'Solents'are fitted with attractive cocktail bars, and in the air, movement about the aircraft is virtually unrestricted—a big point on a longish _ _„ a journey. Whether the flight be over the land or over the sea . • . we nave every confidence in our Short-built aircraft" THE FIRST MANUFACTURERS OF AIRCRAFT IN THE WORLD Short Brothers & Harland Limited, Queens Island, Belfast.
