PROGRESS BY BRITISH EXPERIMENTERS.
Rugby, Nov. 16 Two small Moth Roroplance, with 26 horsepower Cirrus engines, left London on flight to the East yesterday. The pilots are Neville Stack and Bernard Leete, both of whom saw service in the war with the Air Force. The former was at one time pilot of the Cairo-Bagh dad Air Mail. The aim of this daring adventure is to prove the practicability of long-distance flights in small machines.
The pilots first objective is India, and they hope to fly by stages of between 100 and 500 miles daily. It is their intention to devote themselves in India to the promotion of flying clubs, but If conditions are favourable they will continue the night eastward with Australia as the ultimate goal.

The first seaplane for use on an experimental seaplane service be. tween Khartoum and Uganda, and Kisumu, in Kenya, was formally christened at Rochester yesterday by Lady Beatrice Ormsby-Gore, preparatory to being shipped to Egypt. This new service is being assisted by the Uganda, Kenya, and. Sudan' Governmentz. The machine is of the same type as that used by Sir Alan Cobham, and re- presents the co-operation of 'flye British aircraft firms.
