AN AIRMEN'S ALTAR
In St. Eadburh's chapel nfc Southwell Cathedral an altar may now lie seen which has a strange and significant story. During the war the aeroplanes which "crashed" nt Hie front were taken back-, a heap of wreckage, to Norton, near Sheffield. There tho wood and metal were used over again, and worked up into new machines. But in their spare time some of tho highly-skilled artisans pieced together some of the broken wood and mado an altar for their cliapcl. Now tho aerodrome is closed, tho chapol dismantled, and tho altar and its ornaments hnvo boon removed to Southwoll, tho cathedral church of tho diocese in wkiok tho aerodrome onco stood.
