Letters in Brief

摘要

Reg Adkins of Mount Pleasant Australia, enjoyed the article Kent's Cradle of Aviation in the April edition. He writes: "It reminded me of arnpaperweight that I picked up in an antique shop for a song, many years ago. It is of half round-shaped glass, and the obverse (seen through the glass) bears the logo of the Royal Aeronautical Society. The underneath appears to be a very thin, round, sliver of polished wood and has been hand etched in black around the edge as follows: 'RAC RNAS 1915, Short Bros, 'A' Fit, Eastchurch Flying School, Isle of Sheep, 1915.'
