A NEW PARACHUTE: The rapid opening after Mr. John Tranum left the D.H.9 at 1,000 ft. with the Russell "Lobe" Parachute

PARACHUTE DISPLAY AT STAG LANE AERODROME: Mr. John Tranum, an exhibition jumper, with the American parachute known as the Russell "Lobe" Parachute, with which he made three descents at Stag Lane on May 10. The machine is the D.H.9 from which the demonstration was given.

The Gnome-Rhone Bristol "Titan," as used on the Fokker F.VII chartered by Mr. Van Lear Black for a flight to the Cape and back, is built up very largely from "Jupiter" parts. Five "Jupiter" cylinders are used, and the French version of the engine is rated at 240 h.p. The Bristol "Titan" has not yet gone into production, as the Bristol company desires to be quite sure what type of engine is likely to be wanted before commencing building in quantities. The Gnome-Rhone company, on the other hand, has gone into production with the "Titan."

AN AIR YACHT DE LUXE: The three-engined Fokker monoplane which Mr. Van Lear Black has chartered from the K.L.M. for his tour to the Cape and back. The pilots will be Geysendorffer and Scholte, and Mr. Black will be accompanied by his valet "Leo." The tour is scheduled to start around May 15. The engines are the new Gnome-Rhone Bristol "Titans."

A "Jupiter" Engined Junkers for New Guinea. An Australian company, the New Guinea Gold Co., which is at present prospecting for gold in New Guinea, has acquired a Junkers W-34 monoplane, fitted with a Bristol ''Jupiter'' engine for the work. The mining area is situated 65 miles from the coast at an altitude of 10,000 ft. and owing to the difficult nature of the country a round trip to and from the mine area takes about three weeks by ordinary methods! The air trip takes about one hour. There is no possible landing place between the two aerodromes, so engine reliability is essential - hence the "Jupiter." (Note. - Our pictures were not taken in New Guinea!)
