Let me be quite frank and say here and now that for a long time I have not kept a record of my motoring costs. There are two reasons why I do not. The first is that I am afraid; and the
THE WORLD OF WINGS
AIR NOTES AND NEWS "FROM ALL QUARTERS
A story which is amusing ily- ing circles concerns an air travel- ler who refused to be daunted by either "dimculties or delays. His troubles began when he just miss- ed, at the Croydon air-port, an. air-liner departing for the Contin- ent; while a similar misfortune seems to have befallen him when he attempted to catch a boat-train at Victoria. After this his next move was to ring up an outlying aerodrome and engage a taxiplane to fly him to Lympne, where he could catch a cross-Channel atea- mer. Hurrying out by under- ground to a station near the 'drome where his air-taxi awaited him, he jumped into a passing tradesman's van and was driven to the flying ground. Leaving in his air-taxi, he flew quickly to Lympne; but on arriving there he found that he had only the barest margin of time before the depar- ture of the boat. His last stage to Folkestone Harbour was made 00 the pullon of a motor-cycle. But he did just manage to catch that beat.

GREATEST BUGBEAR
. Depreciation is unquestionably the greatest bugbear of car owner- ship. The usual calculation is to allow for a drop of one-third in value in the first year, but in many instances the figure is nearer 40 per cent.
Of course.
I am accustomed to people talk ing about how inexpensive motor-many owners do not sell and buy Ing is because it costs them but one gallon of petrol every 30 miles and one gallon of oll every "1200.

They add together the costs of comparatively small amounts, divide it by the number Lof miles run, and then mutter blithely that their car costs them
at the end of the first year, pre- ferring to keep the car for, say. Üve years, but even then the value will have dropped by about 50 per cent... so that, taking a car which cost £500, the drop represents something approaching, £2 week.
