AIR TROPHIES. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received this day at 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, October 26. The guild of air pilots awarded a memorial plaque to the memory of the noted navigator, Squadron Leader Johnston, a victim of RlOl. The trophy for the year’s best feat was awarded to Chichester, for his New Zealand, Norfolk Island, Lord Howe Island iflights.
All Empire fliers are eligible. •It is understood that Scott, Moliison and Kingsford Smith were considered. It w.as arranged for the Prince of Wales to present the trophy in November, but as it is improbable that Chichester will be in England then, the Guild has cabled to Squadron Leader Wilkes of New Zealand, asking his whereabouts.
