The club accordingly issued the following official announcement: “Mr J. B. Manio attended before the committee of the Royal Aero Club and explained the circumstances under which he came to bo flying over the city of London on December sth, 1912, contrary to the club’s regulations, and as to his subsequent descent on a house at Palmer’s Green.
