Oslo, Rome, Venice, Within Day's Flight of London London, Feb, 25, A feature of the Imperial Airways summer programme, so far as speed and comfort of flying are concerned, Will be the bringing into service of new fast luxury planes, In the new air-liners, weighing when luily-loaded approximately twenty tons, accommodation will be provided in sumptuously-equipped saloons for forty passengers, while the new four-motored express aircraft which are to operate on the Paris route will have the distinction of being the fastest passenger planes of their type so far produced, The growing scope of European air travel will be illustrated in a striking manner this summer by the distances the passengers will be able to travel during the course of a single day's flying.
Leaving Croydon in the morning, ior example, and flying northward, ihe passengers will alight the same evening at such a distant point as Oslo, By another route, flying from London and changing at rrankiurt, dome will be reached the same evening, while Venice will also be within a day's flying of London.—
