SERVICES SUSPENDED
TO PARIS IN MOTHS
PLUCKY PRIVATE FLIGHTS
(Received 10th December, Noon.)
LONDON, 9th December.
"When Saturday's gale suspended the boat ana aeroplane Channel services, Messrs. A. Butler, chairman of the De Havilland Company, and Nigel Norman, director of the Airport, were determined to occupy the ringside seats
at the Camera fight in Paris, which they had booked for themselves and their wives. They set forth in their own Gipsy Moth 'planes in the midst of the rainladen tempest and reached Paris with their wives by dinner time. Terrific bumps shook the 'planes, and would have thrown the occupants from their seats had they not been strapped in. They were the only aerial Channelerossers on Saturday.
