STUNT FLYING

WEEK-END PROGRAMMES AT MANGERE - GENERAL PUBLIC INVITED Stunting displays over the Manger* airdrome will entertain Aucklanders on Saturday and Sunday next and on subsequent week-ends when the weather permits. Lieutenant D. M. Allan, the club V chief instructor, will pilot the machine used and will commence the display at 3 p.m. each day. The public is welcome at the airdrome on these and other occasion' 1 and the usual passenger flying will b* available to members and to the public. Formation flying over the Manukau and Waitemata Harbours and th< Hauraki Gulf and the isthmus is popular and is enjoyed as much by the club’s pilot members who underlak* the piloting of the machines as by th“ passengers. Such progress in tintraining of pupils is being made That the club is now in a position to accept pupils for immediate instruction. It should be realised that these lessorare paid for as taken—at an hourly rate, and not in a lump sum. It is felt that abolish; ng the former £ ) 9s deposit should enable many of those who -would have joined before to do so now. The trial lesson flights now made available to those passengers win* desire to experience piloting a machin*themselves enable anyone to satisfy himself, without going through th*formalities of membership in the club, that he could become a successful pilot and many of the club’s present pupil have joined as a. result of first taking a trial lesson flight.
