OF THE TAXYPLANE OF

Meeting ocean-liner passengers at Cherbouts and firing them to London:
Taking engineers on urgent survey fights along the Persian Gull.
Carrying film producers and their equipment so shoot speciNE -scenes in Palestine.-
raco-meetings on the
Rushing business men to urgent conferences and appoint- ments in this coun'ay and abroad.
Dashing with trainers and jockeys to Continent.
Flying newly-married couples on serial honeymoona.
Those are just a few of the Fights which have been under- taken quite recently, and sccómá- plished with swift success, by the Special-Charter Department of Imperial Airways.
ני
To glance through a list of some of the latest special-charter tripa with one of the experts of this Department is to realise the vital part which taxyplanes now play in saving that time which "money to so many people who ate busy with urgent and important
is
"What often happens," explains this Official, “is that we have a wireless message from a liner ap proaching Europe. from America, asking us to rush a machine over to Cherbourg to pick up a passen ger, or passengers, and bring them over to London by àit.
-Take, just as an example, the ' case of a liner arriving at Cher- bourg early in the morning. After this Cherbourg cali It steams over to Southampton, arriving there say at about two o'clock the same day; after which the boat-train brings passengers up to London. which they reach probably about five o'clock. But, if we send taxyplane over to Cherbouïg the night before, then a passenger can leave the line" directly it reaches: Cherbourg, board this waiting heroplane) and fly from Cherbourg to Croydon in'ábout an hour-and-a-half, a car taking him up to his hotel in the West- end in time for breakfast. In this way, therefore, by chartering an air special to meet them at Cher- bourg, it is possible for busy men to save an entire day.
"Then there was the case, just lately, óf án American stadenk who was on his way to this coun- try to it for a spécial examir- tion at Cambriage antena or putting Into Plymouth, as it kind. been expected to do, the liner in which he was travelling went on to Cherbourg. This meant that. had he relied on ordinary transe port the estudent-toula Zinta

The other day-to take an-
other example of what specially- chartered aeroplanes can accom- plish-we had a party of engine eers who wanted to do some rapid survey work at various points down the Persian: Gulf. One of
our machines picked them up from a Imer" at Alexandria; and in not more than a few days, by air, they covered distances which, by slow and dificult surface transport, would have taken them weeks, or probablý months.
"More and more people, nowa- days, are begining to realise the immense amoïfit of time they can save, when on long and urgent Journeys, it they charter an séro- plane rather than travel by boat, train, or car. Not long ago we were consulted by a film producer who found that he needed to take a number of Important shotë at various places out in Palestine. We arranged for him to have £ saloon-plate which was bly enough to accommodate not only himself and his personal assistant,
·but also ˆå 'complete, unit of camera-men and their equipment. In this machine they all new out tó Palestine, making rapid trips from place to place, and taking Almus from the air as well as from the ground. They were, in fact, able to secure in a week or so, and bring back with them by air to London, material which they reckoned would have taken them months to procure if they Red Hot has the axistance of the aeroplane.
