"AIRMINDEDNESS" AT NORWICH: Sir Alan Cobham was busy, both on Sunday and Monday, taking up passengers in the D.H. "Giant Moth" (D.H. 61, Siddeley "Jaguar").

"YOUTH OF BRITAIN": This is the name given to the de Havilland "Giant Moth" (D.H.61) with Armstrong Siddeley "Jaguar" engine on which Sir Alan Cobham has just started a tour of Britain. On this tour Sir Alan will encourage "airmindedness" by giving passenger flights to a number of people. Our photographs show Sir Charles Wakefield "launching" the "Youth of Britain," a group at the launch, including, from left to right. Capt. de Havilland, Sir Alan Cobham, Mr. St. Barbe. Sir Charles Wakefield, Lady Cobham, and Sir Sefton Brancker, and, below, the machine in flight, piloted by Sir Alan Cobham.

AT MILAN: The Caproni stand, showing the Ca97 three-engined commercial monoplane.

This view marks the arrival of Mrs. Hylton Cleaver and Capt. Donald Drew in the former's Gipsy-Moth at Rutbah Wells on April 4 last, during their tour to India. Behind Mrs. Cleaver is the Imperial Airways D.H. "Hercules" (Bristol "Jupiters") "City of Jerusalem" refuelling during the first eastbound Indian Air Mail flight.

THE NEW ROHRBACH "ROLAND": Two views of the improved machine recently produced. A larger cabin and cockpit and better engine installation are features of the latest type.

THE FIAT "A.S.1": Two views of the new Italian two-seater light monoplane. It is fitted with a Fiat 85 h.p A-50 air-cooled radial engine.

THE "MOTOR-CYCLE OF THE AIR": Two views of a new light monoplane which has just been produced by Lieut.-Col. G. L. P. Henderson (of the Henderson Flying School, Croydon). Designed by Capt. K. N. Pearson, this little machine is powered with a 40 h.p. A.B.C. "Scorpion" engine, and is of all-wood construction - even to the fuselage and wing covering. It is intended to place this machine on the market at a very moderate price.

A Good Beginning: The little single-seater monoplane with A.B.C. "Scorpion" engine, produced by Henderson and Glenny, and to which we referred recently, established a world's record last week by reaching a height of 10,400 ft. (uncorrected), piloted by Col. Henderson. Standing in front of the machine are, from left to right, Col. G. L. P. Henderson, Mr. K. N. Pearson (designer), and Mr. Glenny. Experiments are to be made shortly with wings fitted with the Pearson type of lateral control.

THE DESOUTTER MONOPLANE: The photograph gives a good idea of the low position of the engine above the ground, which facilitates inspection and adjustments.

THE DESOUTTER MONOPLANE: The somewhat unusual tail layout is shown.

THE DESOUTTER MONOPLANE: Some constructional details. The tubular engine mounting is shown in 1. Note the rubber pads interposed between the engine bearers and the feet of the engine to reduce vibration. A flexible (rubber) connection is made between the aileron crank and its operating tube, as shown in 2. The tail plane adjustment is shown in 3, and the elevator crank in 4. Fig. 5 illustrates the fitting which locates the wing in relation to the fuselage, but which permits deflection of the wing spar. The attachment of lift strut to rear spar is shown in 6.

A FLYING-BOAT ON THE NORFOLK BROADS: This photograph shows a Supermarine "Southampton" which recently alighted on Oulton Broad. This is believed to have been the first time in history that a flying-boat has alighted on and started from one of the Broads. In front of the "Southampton" may be seen one of the 24-ft. Brooke 30 m.p.h. "Seacars" ordered for use by the R.A.F. in connection with the Schneider Trophy Contest.

An unusual view. This photograph was "shot" through an opening in the engine plate, and shows the control stick, adjustable foot rests, control cable pulleys, etc.

The tail of the "Robin" is of orthodox construction and design.

The "Robin" undercarriage is of the "split" type, and comprises axle, radius rod and telescopic strut. The shock absorbers are endless rubber rings on "crutches."

FRONT VIEW OF THE A.B.C. "ROBIN": Although showing the machine in skeleton, this photograph gives a good idea of the clean lines.

ON THE A.B.C. "ROBIN": The lift strut attachment to the fuselage is shown in 1, and details of the wing construction in 2. In 3 is illustrated the attachment of the lift strut to the rear spar, and in 4 the duralumin tube across the top of the fuselage, and which carries the fork and block for the wing spar attachment.

THE A.B.C. "ROBIN": On the left, a sketch of one of the rear spar hinges, showing how aileron cables are guided. On the right, a front spar fitting, with locking pin.

The Marquis, who has recently learned to fly at the De Havilland Flying School, is the well-known racing motorist, and managing director of Bentley Motors, Ltd.

THESE photographs are indicative of the widespread popularity of the de Havilland "Gipsy Moth." The photograph in the top left-hand corner shows five of these machines, of which four have been specially fitted to take large aerial cameras. These machines are to be employed for survey work by a newly formed Spanish company. The fifth "Moth" is a coupe type which belongs to the Duke of Estremera, and which is shown in flight in the inset. On the right are the Spanish crews of the five "Moths." From left to right, Dorronsoro, Pardo, the Duke of Estremera, Tortilla, Ruiz de Alda, Antonio Ansaldo, and Rein. In Norway also the "Moth" is finding favour, and the group in the lower left-hand corner shows, three Norwegian officers on a visit to Stag Lane. They are, from left to right : Lieut. Motzfelt, chief instructor of the Norwegian Army Flying School; Mr. Gunnestad and Mr. Meyer, Norwegian Army Corps Reservists. The thrills of dirt-track racing do not preclude enjoyment of flying, and recently Col. the Master of Sempill gave passenger flights at Stag Lane to two famous motor-cyclists who are now learning to fly. Our group shows, from left to right, Mr. Frank Arthur, Col. Sempill. Mr. Billy Lamont, and Capt. H. Broad.
