aviation parties contemplating a
trans-Atlantic flight In Bolton and
Paul and Vlckers-Vlmy planes, both
of British make, arrived here today.
While Hawker and Raynhani, the
pioneer flyers at this "hopping off"
place, studied weather charts which
indicated continuance today of the
unfavorable conditions which have
held them landbound for more than
a month. Captain U: S. Bennett began
an inspection of a possible site for
the Bolton and Paul three-seater,
while Captain A. ,A. Alicott and A.
W. Brown conducted negotiations for
the housing of their Vimy machine.
Owing to the scarcity of favorable
hangar locations it was thought pro
bable that tho Britishers, whose
planes wero expected to reach here In
time for a flight in June, would use
the ground to be vacated by Hawker
and Raynham.
In anticipation of the American
navy's possible attempt to negotiate
the ocean voyage on a llghter-than
air craft the dirigible C-5 a land
