CHRISTENING NEW MACHINES FOR IMPERIAL AIRWAYS: The upper photograph shows the crowd inspecting one of the Handley Page W.10's. In the inset Lady Maud Hoare is seen performing the christening ceremony by "unveiling" the name plate of one of the machines, and the lower photograph shows the giving of a hearty cheer for Lady Maud Hoare, the group including Lieut.-Col. Barrett-Lennard, Sir S. Instone Mr. Hubert Scott Paine, Air Vice-Marshal Sir Vyell Vyvyan, Sir S. Hoare, Mr. Larkin, Lady Maud Hoare, and Sir Eric Geddes.

NEW MACHINES FOR IMPERIAL AIRWAYS: Last week a batch of Handley Page machines of the W.10 type, each fitted with two Napier "Lion" engines, were delivered to Imperial Airways at Croydon, the event being the occasion of a visit to the aerodrome by a number of prominent people. Our photograph shows the machines lined up for inspection.

CLEAN RUNNING: Two views of the D.H.50, fitted with floats, which has been built for Lord Stonehaven, Governor-General of Australia. The absence of spray is most noticeable, and the machine appears to have no tendency to porpoise.

Hot or cold! The extraordinary success with which the Armstrong-Siddeley "Jaguar" air-cooled engine functioned at temperatures in the neighbourhood of 110°F. during Cobham's recent London - Cape Town flight is still fresh in everyone's mind. The accompanying illustration is therefore particularly interesting inasmuch as it shows that this remarkable engine is equally at home at the other extreme. It depicts an "A.-W. Siskin" on which Lieut. Luneberg, of the Swedish Flying Corps, made a successful test in the far north of Sweden, with a temperature below 60 of frost, and then made a flight of 800 miles to the south of Sweden.

"AEROBATICS": The De Havilland "Moth," of which several are on order for Australia, is built with high load factors and holds an "aerobatics" airworthiness certificate. In these three views, taken from another De Havilland machine, the "Moth," is shown doing a roll, the left-hand photograph showing the machine just about to commence a roll, the right-hand picture illustrating the early part of the roll, and the inset showing the machine on its back, with the ailerons still hard over.

These four photographs show one of the D.H. "Moths" on order for Australia being put through its paces by Capt. Hubert Broad. The views are such as to illustrate practically all the features of the machine, and incidentally they demonstrate the way in which pilots show their faith in the "Moth" and its "Cirrus" engine by "evoluting" close to the ground.

COMING IN TO LAND: The Hill "Pterodactyl" is seen in this view in a fairly normal attitude. Note that the "controllers" are trailing, i.e., are lying along wind, and form an angle with the main wing.

THE TAILLESS AEROPLANE: Three-quarter front view of the Hill "Pterodactyl" with Bristol "Cherub" engine at R.A.E. Farnborough. The wing tips are pivoted to form "controllers" (ailerons and elevators). The rudders are mounted under the wing, and are provided with skids.

MANOEUVRABILITY: The Hawker "Woodcock" with Bristol "Jupiter" engine doing a steeply-banked turn close to the ground near the Hawker sheds at Brooklands. The pilot was Mr. Bulman, chief test pilot to the H. G. Hawker Engineering Company.

UPS AND DOWNS: Two views of the Hawker "Woodcock," piloted by Mr. Bulman, flying at Brooklands. When the photograph on the left was taken the machine was doing a banked left-hand turn close to the ground, our photographer enjoying a point of vantage above the machine.

OFF THE TRACK: Mr. J. King, carrying a passenger, flying under the Byfleet bridge at Brooklands on the old Sopwith "Grasshopper." This feat was first performed by the late H. G. Hawker on his little Swallow.

THE PANDER TYPE E LIGHT 'PLANE: Three-quarter front view. The engine is a 45 h.p. Anzani. Note the unusual wing bracing.
The prototype Pander E, H-NADI, made its first flight on February 18, 1926 from Waalhaven Airport, near Rotterdam.

THE ANEC III: These two views show the new biplane built for Australia by the Air Navigation and Engineering Co., of Addlestone, Surrey. The machine, which was described and illustrated in FLIGHT of February 11, 1926, has now been completed, and a few test flights have been made at Brooklands. The engine is a Rolls-Royce Eagle VIII.

WELL AWAY: This photograph of the civilian version of the "Gloster Gamecock" gives an excellent idea of the general lines. The engine is a Bristol "Jupiter."

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Gloster Gamecock - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1925

Manoeuvrability is a feature of the "Gloster Gamecock" as well as its civilian version, the latter being shown in above photographs. The view of the machine in a steeply-banked turn gives a plan view, while in the inset the machine is seen in front elevation, which admirably illustrates the clean design.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Gloster Gamecock - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1925

A VERY NEAT ENGINE INSTALLATION: In the civilian version of the "Gloster Gamecock" no exhaust pipes are fitted, as the machine is not intended for night flying, and a cowl of very pleasing appearance is fitted. The "spinner" is in the form of a swelling of the propeller boss, and is built integral with it, only the small pointed nose-cap being a separate metal fitment. The undercarriage is of special oleo-damped type.
