By-Pass London: Vision

Of An Architect

HUGE railway stations, ten miles beyond the centre of the city they serve, and expresses that by-pass London are advocated by Professor A. E. Richardson, A.R.A., F.S.A., in calling for stations suitable for the next 50 years.

Professor Richardson, who is the University of London Pro- fessor in Architecture, told the Royal Institute of British Architects recently that the stations outside the city should be served by a ceinture line-a sort of auburban belt railway-which would call for the reorganisation of the whole suburban system in all directions up to 50 miles from London,

Engineer Crosses The

Channel in Glider

GLIDING history was made recently by Mr. G. H. Stephenson, 27-year-old television engineer, of Hayes (Middlesex), when he crossed the English Channel on a soaring flight.

This is the first time that this has been achieved. The Channel was crossed in a glider some years ago, but on that occasion an aeroplane was used to give the glider altitude.

Mr. Stephenson, who is a member of the London and Surrey Gliding Clubs, took off from the ground at Dunstable and landed three hours later at Wast, near Boulogne.

His flight, which covered 125 miles, was made in a British- made sailplané Kirby Gull.

He returned by boat after dismantling his glider.
