FROM THE BRITISH FLYING
Bo wness'on- Windermere.
Northern Aircraft Co.—Continuous rain and high
winds stopped school work considerably last week. Mr.
Lashmar was out with Rowland Ding on Monday doing
landing practice. On Tuesday a gallant effort was made
to brave the rain, but it got into the distributor of the
Gnome, and stopped it two or three miles up the lake.
During the tow home the absence of soap and towels
alone hindered the occupants of the machine from
taking full advantage of the opportunities afforded by the
bath-like cockpit of the machine.
