Show Aerial Signposts For some time past the British air mini?try has been considering the question of providing identification marks at points all over the country for the convenience of airplane pilots. The first of these novel "signposts" Is shortly to be established near Wey-down Wey-down common, Haslemere, where the ministry has rented a piece of ground sufficiently large to enable the name "Haslemere" to be outlined against the turf in large white letters. Up till now only aerodromes have been indicated by this method, but it is Intended to develop the identification identifica-tion scheme until every town and village vil-lage will have its name Inscribed at a convenient spot. Airmen will then have no need to carry maps, since the whole of Great Britain, seen from above, will be one vast map. London Answers. |
