NEW COMMERCIAL PROPOSITION,
Express aire trains, consisting. of gliders towed by horoplaner, were forecast by Mian Barbara Cart
and when she arrived at Reading aerodrome with her two-seater glider, the first of its kind in the world to be towed by an aeroplano,
Miss Cartland recently travelled 100 miles in an aeroplane with a claimed to be the list mir mall glider in tow, carrying what she conveyed in this way. The glider arrived safely at Roading, whether to the Mayor of Reading, and Miss Cartland delivered her letter afterwards took off for "Hanwerth, Middlesex, escorted by three noro- planes.

"I am not interested in gliding as a sport," Miss Cartland said, "But as a practical commercial proposition. I see no reason why in a law years passengers and fragile foods should not be, towed by aeroplance in the same way as railway carriages are pulled by an engine. For instance, in express air train, with these slip conches attached to cables, might travel from Croydon to Cape Town and uitable places ca route. It would drop both passengers and goods at not be a fair weather means of transpert either...
"Ciders can withstand really rough weather, and they are n proving rapidly. When we first branched the subject to air trans- port experts they laughed and said it was impossible as the glider would capsize. But I think that the exports were wrong. We hope shortly to demonstrate this idea in various parts of the country,
