UITAWA, July zl—'I'hs man whose flying amazed King Edward at the recent Northolt airshow came home today more than a week late for his summer holidays and told reporters he was afraid of automobiles.

Flying Officer James R. Mac- Lechlan of the Royal Air Force said he and his companions. Flight Lisut. I-I. Broodhurst and Pilot or- fiscr B. 0. Morris, surrendered eight days of their annual leave so they might stage a show for the King. He could have obtained the eight days later, he explained, but he wants to be back in England in time to take part in the Aug. 2.9 international air tournament at Hendon.

Mncbachlan, one of the world's mag: daring stunt pilots, thinks an airplane one of the world's safest spots, for safer than an automo- bile. “I am all right if I am driv- ing the car myself," he said, "but there are only about two people I can drive with in any stats of composure."
