THE STORY OF A FAMOUS VICTORY: Capt. F. L. Barnard (left) leaves Croydon on Friday, July 3, at 9.48 a.m., and (right) arrives safely back (for the second time) on Saturday, July 4, at 4 p.m., having thus completed two circuits of Britain, or 1,608 miles. As a result, he is "mobbed" by an enthusiastic crowd, led by Press photographers and wins the cup.

"AFTER YOU WITH THAT TANK!" One of the most thrilling events seen at this year's R.A.F. Display at Hendon was the demonstration of Low Bombing by three Gloucestershire "Grebes" from No. 25 Fighter Squadron, and three Siddeley "Siskins" from No.41 Fighter Squadron. Instead of the machines diving on to their target - a stranded Tank - one after another from the same direction, they maintained a continuous attack, swooping down in rapid succession from all directions, with, apparently, only a matter of yards separating each machine, and releasing their bombs from about 50 ft. without the use of bombsights or such-like gadgets. The picture by Charles Dickson, gives one an excellent impression of this wonderful "criss-crossing" manoeuvre by the machines.

THE BOULTON AND PAUL "BUGLE": This photograph shows the latest type of "Bugle" which is fitted with Napier "Lion" engines. In general the machine is similar to that described in FLIGHT some months ago with the exception of the change in the engines and their mounting. It may also be noticed that the petrol tanks have now disappeared from the top 'plane. They are now carried inside the fuselage. A further modification is that the elevators are balanced by horn balances. As the machine has been built by the Air Ministry no details as to performance may be given. The performances, however, are extremely good, as is also the manoeuvrability.

ADVANCED TRAINING MACHINE: This Bristol biplane with Bristol Jupiter engine is used at the Bristol Flying School for the advanced training of pupils, and as such is, perhaps, the highest-powered training machine in regular use. For school purposes, however, the speed of the Jupiter is cut down to a certain figure, so that the actual power normally developed when used in a school machine is not the full power of the engine.

A NEW ENGLISH ELECTRIC COMPANY FLYING BOAT: The Ayr Napier-engined Flying Boat is remarkable for the fact that it has no wing tip floats, the bottom plane doing all, and performing the functions of side floats, the inner portion of it being submerged when the machine is at rest on the water. This machine, like all other of English Electric Company construction was designed by Mr. W. O. Manning. The engine is a 450 h.p. Napier "Lion."

The joints in the top and bottom bays are staggered in relation to those in the side bays so as to allow the three-ply gussets to clear one another.
