  • THE BLACKBURN "SPRAT": Some constructional details. The main sketch shows the two Duralumin floats, with their struts. The 12 inspection holes in each float have their covers riveted on. The transverse tubes through the floats serve to accommodate the beaching chassis, to which a jack action is given by levers (not shown) held in position by catches, of which that on the starboard float is shown. The float framework is also illustrated, with sections of certain main members. At 1, is shown the joint of the keelson to keel and planking near the bows, while 2 illustrates the same joint some distance aft of the step, and 3 the joint, with steel shoe on keel, immediately aft of the step. Note that water rudders are fitted in order to give good manoeuvrability on the water.

  • "F.F.V.": A Vickers "Virginia" surveys Central London during the Great Strike.
    Vickers "Virginia" (Two Napier "Lions") It is now six years since the late Sir John Alcock and Sir Arthur Whitten Brown flew across the Atlantic in a Vickers "Vimy" with two Rolls-Royce "Eagle" engines, a type similar to that on which the late Sir Ross Smith, and his brother, Sir Keith Smith, flew from London to Australia. The "Vimy" may be said to have been the prototype of the Vickers "Virginia" four-seater long-distance bomber which will take part in the Display. The "Virginia" is, however, fitted with more powerful engines (Napier "Lions"). The "Virginia" forms the standard equipment of Bombing Squadrons No.7, Bircham Newton, 9 (Manston), and 58 (Worthy Down).
