THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE "MARS I," 450 H.P. NAPIER "LION," AT WADDON: Mr. James's flying on this machine was greatly appreciated, and coming down wind the machine must have been doing about 210 m.p.h.

Yet its maximum speed is in the neighbourhood of 195 m.p.h. in still air, and its climb is simply marvellous.
