London, Sept 30. Some dozen years ago the De Havilland Arm produced the little Moth aeroplane with a 60-hp. Cirrus engine, and this led to the fying club movement as a result of which a great number of men and women have learnt to fly. These flying clubs, helped by subsidies from the Al Ministry made flying much cheaper than It had been before and brought it within the reach of people of moderate means. Many who had learnt to fly. however, found that it was still too expensive for them to buy and run their own aeroplanes, and so they dropped out of the movement.
