There is a great deal to be said for the suggestion made in the cor~ respondence columns today that the British aviators who gave so striking display of fying. in British chines on Tuesday "might be prevailed upon to give the local British youth an "opportunity of witnessing the fine performances of their countrymen. It is possible, of course, that there will be all manner fof difficulties to be overcome, but youth's mind, nowadays, runs to replanes and such things, and the opportunity of seeing their own countrymen do such feats as those performed on Tuesday would fadeed be a rare treat for them.
There is more in the suggestion than that. Large numbers of British children see their home country s0 comparatively rarely, that if th gestion could be adopted, an opportunity would be presented them of seeing something the Old Country can produce, not only in the shape of such excellent "machines, but in the very fine type of aviators who ut them through their paces. Thus added to the natural thrill of the display would be the knowledge calculated "to arouse feelings of the proudest possible patriotism in the Dbreasts of the young spectators, for Which reason it is hoped that something can be done in the matter. While on the subject congratulations should be extended to the two fliers for the remarkably sensational display which they gave. 'Their tricks gasps of surprise from many hardened spectator, more or less accustomed to these displays, while the exhibition of perfect control which was given, and the splendid manner' in which the machines responded to the demands which were made upon then, will make the afternoon a really memorable one.
