AN AVRO TORPEDO BOMBER: Three views of the "Buffalo II" with Napier "Lion XA." Special features are the extremely "clean" nose and the slot-and-aileron control. The wings are swept back, and are designed to fold. The performance is believed to be very good.

HINKLER'S FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA: On the left, the "Great Little Man" is seen at work on his engine. On the right a "close-up" of the special vice Hinkler has made. This fits on an engine bearer, and enables work, such as adjusting a tappet rod or dismantling a sparking plug, to be carried out with convenience. The short air intake pipe has, where it joins the carburettor a "choke plate" which Hinkler uses for starting, in place of the usual rag. The "Avian" bristles with special "gadgets" thought out by Hinkler.

HINKLER'S FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA: Two views of the special "K" type jury strut used by Hinkler for folding the wings of his "Avian". The photograph on the left shows the "K" strut in place, while on the right it is seen partly folded. A single bolt in the centre is undone, and the two halves of the "K" strut then fold into lower and upper wing respectively, where they are housed in slots in such a way as to fair in with the wing surfaces.

This is the Avro "Avian" which A. V. Roe and Co. have supplied to the Hampshire Aero Club. It is fitted with the new undercarriage which is automatically swept back when the wings are folded, bringing the machine nearer the ground. Thus the engine is more accessible for inspection and adjustment. Also a good deal of weight is taken off the tail skid, thereby facilitating the manoeuvring of the machine. These photographs were taken at Woodford Aerodrome, Cheshire, after the machine had been tested.

AN "AVIAN" IN SOUTH AFRICA: In this interesting group discussing the unpacking of Lady Heath's "Avian" at Cape Town will be noticed Sir James Heath (with walking stick) and Lady Heath, whilst stroking the glossy neck of the horse is Col. Henderson. The lady rider is Miss Jute, of Johannesburg, who learned to fly with Col. Henderson and was ready to go solo within a week.

HINKLER'S FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA: This view of the "Avian" with wings folded gives a good idea of the way in which Hinkler's special type of undercarriage lowers the front of the machine and makes the "Cirrus" engine very accessible. Also the wheels move aft and relieve the tail skid of nearly all its load.

THE SHORT "CALCUTTA" THREE-ENGINED FLYING BOAT: Some constructional details. A section of the rear spar of the top centre-section is shown in 1, with its steel fitting for strut and lift wires, etc. 2, shows a section of the top rear spar. Note the laminations which reinforce the spar at point of attachment of fittings. Built-up compression struts are used, the end of one being illustrated in 3. The spars of the lower centre-section differ slightly in construction, as shown in 4. The curved angle-section piece conforms to the cabin roof, through which this spar passes. The attachment of the raked struts which run from lower plane at engine supports to chine, meet the latter as shown in 5. The two petrol tanks are housed in the top plane, and are of the form shown in 6. Details of the tank supports, incorporating rubber buffers, are shown in 7 and 8.
