Sydney, May 10. Brigadier - General Gordon, Military Commandant, who went on an aeroplane journey with xVIr M’Donald, representing the Bristol Aeroplane Company, interviewed alter his experience, said that he sees four distinct advantages in the aeroplane in war-time. The pilot is able to do exactly what he likes. The area of ground under observation from a height of fitteeu hundred feet is more than sufficient to disclose the movements of troops. Ihe aviator can make topographical sketches, and can, by wireless telegraphy, impart the fullest information regarding the movements of the enemy. It would be valuable it an aviation school were started in Australia.
