Although Mr. Mawbey is so greatly absorbed in his professional work, and was one of the finally selected candidates for the Chief Engineership to the London County Council, when vacated by Sir Alexander Binnie, withdrawing therefrom on the Leicester Corporation preferring to make it worth his while to remain; still, in addition, to motoring, he enjoys the reputation of being one of the ablest solo-flautists of the day.
