PIGS FLIGHT IN AN AREo
learus, Now Famous shoat, Was Ia
ken Up in a Machine, Wipins
Out Famous Phrase.

Pigs. must fly'-possibly one of
the Oldest sayings in the English Ian
guage-now ceases to exist as
phrase for expressing the improbable.
A pig has flown.
A small pink pig flew with Moore
Brabazon over the Aero clubs grounds
at Sheppey, London
Comfortably ensconsed in a basket
fixed beside the engines, the pig
evinced great interest in the proceed
ings and took to the air so naturally
that Mr.. Brabazon has chrlstened it
"Icarus the Second"
Il was shooting in the neighbor.
hood Mr.. Brabazon said, when
farmer casually suggested to me that
l might take pig up in my aero.
plane, give him flight and so &C.
complish what has so long been pro-
verbally impossible.
The humor of the situation struck
me at once, and we all returned to
Leysdown village to procure the pig.
III thS sdiu vi INC iNooc anu SioWu
We found litter of seven, and Sc
lecting an intelligent looking pig just
six weeks old, we carried him of to
my machine shed.
My man at once opened the shed
and we began preparing the machine,
while Icarus the Second shifted hap
PLY around.
Then, when all was ready, We sac
lcarus in a basket alongside the en-
gines and off went.
1t was a short. fast flight, and
though he squealed little to begin
with, my four-legged passenger soon
quoted down and behaved as II he
quite realized the Importance of the
occasion. Even the proximity of the
engine did not distress him in the
least
when released at the end OF the
flight Icarus showed no desire to de.
part, but waddled solemnly back to
the shed behind the men pushing the
machine
lcarus is already famous in the
neighborhood Of Sheppey. Scores OF
the local people visit him at Legs
down, and his owner. G. C. Ward, de.
cided to retain him as a pc. and save
him from the fate which awaits his
six little brothers and sisters.
