INCLEMENT WEATHER AND SMALL CROWD.
[TEROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY ]
LONDON, October 1st. Heavy rain and a cold wind pre- vailed at Croydon when the vie torious Schneider Team arrived by air from Paris, escorted from Hythe by six R.A.F. machines.
Sir Philip Sassoon officially wel comed the team amid enthusiastic. shouts of the crowd' of "Bravo Webster."
Air Marshal John Salmond and the M.P.' for Walsall (Webster's home town) and the Mayers of Walsall were at Croydon.
The team motored round the acro- drome, saluting and waving in ro- sponse to the cheers of the crowd Air Vice-Marshal Scarlett declar ing: We went to Venico, as G tean We won the trophy "as a
team and we are going to keep it next year as a team."
The airmen were considerably embarrassed but delighted by the warmth of the reception.
