The Public and Brooklands. Owing to the exigencies of military requirements the general public will not be admitted, until further notice, to the Brooklands Motor Course and Flying Ground. Members of the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club, Brooklands Lawn Tennis Club, and British Motor-Cycle Racing Club, as well as holders of permanent passes, will continue to be admitted subject to the conditions heretofore in force. Applications for tests and speed trials should be addressed to the Secretary of the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club at Carlton House, Regent Street, London, S.W., who will make arrangements if military requirements permit. A Disclaimer. With reference to the notes which appeared last week concerning an article in the "Times" Engineering Supplement by a writer signing himself "Ornis," this paper is requested by Mr. Clarence Winchester, of Brighton, to deny that he was the author of the article in question. Mr. Winchester has contributed many articles to South Coast newspapers over the signature of "Ornis," and he states that he has been questioned many times since the appearance of the last issue of THE AEROPLANE as to his responsibility for the mistakes of the other "Ornis." Mr. Winchester is not, perhaps, so highly scientific as "Ornis" of the "Times," but it seems probable that he has had more personal experience of aviation. School and Weather Reports. ...
