Dunne, of the Royal Engineers, is the inventor of an aeroplane which has been mysteriously . tested in the Scottish hills. One flight covered twelve miles. This was the reason the War Office did not approach the Wright Brothers earlier. The Wrights on Monday visited Mr Haldane, Secretary for War, and yesterday inspected six of their aeroplanes which are being constructed in the Aero Club's grounds in the Island of Shepney. A new type of dirigible balloon for the British Army has made a successful flight at Aldershot.
