FLYING COURSE FOR £14.
Xineteen aviation clubs in Great Britain offer flying training to women at the rate of £14 for the course, the price of an evening frock. Thirteen of the clubs receive an annual grant from the British Government, and ''aerial scholarships" of the value of £50 are being established under the wing of Lady Heath, holder of the world's height record for a light seaplane, to stimulate both professional and pleasure flying. The scholarships will be available to women who could not otherwise afford to equip themselves with flying kit and to undergo the necessary training. The London Aeroplane Club, which has its headquarters at Stag Lane, Edgware. already has a membership of 500, of whom nearly 300 have actually taken their flying certificates. Another club, founded only eighteen months ago, has a membership of 359.
