C. E. BO W DEN D. A. RUSSELL Honorary Secretary : DUDLEY SHIP Every model aircraft enthusiast should, in his own interests, become a member of the National Guild of Aeromodellists. The Guild is sponsored by the “ AERO-MODELLER,” the monthly magazine devoted to the latest ideas and practices of this interesting hobby in which many thousands are concerned, is approved by the Society of Model Aeronautical Eng neers, and has for Honorary Chairman Lt.-Col. C. E. Bowden, one of the most well-known designers and builders of petrol ’planes in this country. The important feature of the Guild is the Third-Party Insurance Policy underwritten by Lloyd’s. All members of the Guild are automatically insured under a group policy— unlimited claims, any one claim up to £5,000— as soon as their subscriptions have been paid ; and there are no other premium charges. After all, no matter how careful you may be when flying a model ’plane, accidents may happen, and if a bystander is injured or property damaged, you may be called upon to pay a pretty penny to settle the matter. The Guild has settled claims as low as 3/6 for a broken window pane, and as high as £30 in respect of an eye injury caused by a rubber-driven ’plane. Membership of the Guild is open to all aero-modellers in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Subscriptions are 6d. per annum for those who fly rubber-driven models, and 2/6 per annum for those who fly petrol ’planes.
