"LIONISED" IN LONDON
London, Saturday. M. Bleriot (the first cross-Chan- nel flyer), flew in a monster French bomber he himself designed, from Le Bourget to participate in the celebrations in connection with the twentieth anniversary of his feat.
Wearing his traditional straw hat he was escorted by French and British military planes, and land- ed near the spot at Swingate, marked by a memorial, where he grounded in 1909.

He was tendered a banquet at the Savoy in the evening.

The British Wireless message states:-Monsieur Bleriot who, 20 years ago, made the first flight across the English Channel, cele- brated the anniversary yesterday by flying the Channel again. H¢| flew in a machine of his own de- sign-a twin-engined bomber.
Madame Bleriot also came across in a separate machine.
Eleven aeroplanes of the Royal
Air Force escorted them into Dover. Upon landing, Monsieur and Madame Bleriot were met by the Mayor of Dover and Sir Sefton Brancker, Director of Civil Avia- tion. They then proceeded in their machines to Croydon, where they were received by Lord Thomson, the Air Minister, representa- tives of the Imperial Airways, Royal Aero Club and Royal Aero- nautical Society.
Monsieur and Madame Bleriot were the guests of honour at a dinner celebrating the seventh in- ternational sero exhibition, at which many other pioneers of avia tion were present, including Sir Arthur Whitten Brown who, with the late Sir John Alcock, made the first aeroplane flight across Atlantic.
