Otherwise a bers should not be a sort of Airparty risks. If, however, a man pilot could land anywhere.
By the almple method of adding these figures up we arrive at a total of $44,250, the estimated running cost of the Club per annum. I suggest that á Flying Club fo Hong Kong would be of great ser vice to the Colony. If it were or ganised on proper lines there is no reason why its machines and mom

If the Club could be started with this idea behind it I think there is

a very strong case to put before the Government requesting wholehearted support,
ASSOCIATE MEMBERS. To enable those in the Colony who do not wish to take an active part but who desire to support the movement I suggest that there should be two types of membership, "the flying member" and the asso ciate member.".
I consider that it should be pos- sible to obtain 200 associate mem- bers and 50 flying members, ali should pay an entrance fee of $30,, associate members paying $10 per annum whilst flying members pay $5 per month.
If the Government would use the Club machines and its members as a local Air Force, they should sup- [port the Club by a yearly subsidy of about $35,000. Then if mem- [bers paid $10 per hour for dual In- struction and $5 per hour solo fly. ing the Club would be able to run very successfully.

After this let us assume that the member Alles four hours per month, It will therefore cost him $25 per month or $800 per annum.
At this early stage, I do not think there is very much more that I can say, but I would like to ask one or two people to join me in forming a Committee, who can work the aug gestion up and investigate the whole question with a view of plac- ing proposals before the Govern ment.
