A bow view which shows how small the seaplane is and the small target offered by a submarine when head-on. The Peto is here in position on the catapult rails and is all ready for launching. The rails being fairly high hold the aircraft clear of all obstructions and it is not therefore, necessary to dismantle any of the handrails and stanchions.

LETTING HER GO: Looking down on the Peto just as the catapult was fired.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Parnall Peto - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1925

UP INTO ACTION: The sequence of operations is shown here. First the submarine comes to the surface, and when the bow is clear of the water the hangar door is opened. Next the aircraft is run out and placed on the catapult, where the wings are unfolded, finally, after the engine has been run up, the catapult is fired and the aircraft flies off on a reconnaissance flight.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Parnall Peto - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1925

DOWN TO SAFETY: After having carried out the reconnaissance flight the little seaplane alights near the submarine where the derrick is already trained over the ship's side. The aircraft then taxis up and is hooked on, lifted up and swung on board and placed on the catapult rails. After the wings are folded it is pushed back into the hangar, which is closed, and once more the submarine dives out of sight.

Robb did not succeed in getting a place, but it did get in sixth, which was a very creditable performance indeed in view of the fact that the Pobjoy R.I engine is an entirely new type. The engine gave no trouble whatever, a fact which promises well for the future of the Pobjoy R.I. The "Swift," incidentally, was favourite on the "Tote."

THE SARO PERCIVAL MONOPLANE: The Saro Percival Monoplane is the first 3-engined long-range mail plane to be built in this country, and from the preliminary tests it would appear that it will fulfil this duty in a remarkably efficient manner. The engines are three Gipsy III's and, as can be seen from the photograph, are very neatly cowled in. The landing run is very short indeed, while the landing speed, although figures may not yet be quoted, is also very low. This fact, together with the immunity from forced landings which the three-engine arrangement will give, should make the Saro Percival an ideal night mail carrier; a type which will be found invaluable in many parts of the world.

TAKING OFF SOLO BY INSTRUMENTS ONLY: An instructor (Mr. W.E.P.Johnson) takes off solo with the hood up. He put the machine into a spin and flattened out before lowering his hood. We believe that this is the first photograph ever published of this extraordinary feat.

INSTRUMENT FLYING: These two pictures of the same Avro-Lynx illustrate instruction in flying solely by instruments. In the first the head of the pupil can be seen, in the second it is hidden by the hood. The instructor is in the front cockpit.

Mr. John C. Webster, a Director of the Montreal Light Aeroplane Club, with his Curtiss-Reid Rambler (Gipsy III), which he is flying in the King's Cup Race. Mr. Webster brought his aircraft over unpacked, that is, simply folded and secured on board. At Southampton it was towed to Hamble where its wings were spread and it was flown to Heston. There it will be cared for by the firm of Brian Lewis and C. D. Barnard Ltd., while in the country.

A NEW BREDA DEVELOPMENT: In our issue for June 12 last we published illustrations of a Breda "15" light plane fitted with an inverted engine, which provided greatly improved vision. Above we show another development, a Breda "15" seaplane fitted with an 105 h.p. Isotta-Fraschini Asso 80 Ri. 6-cyI. engine. This is an upright in line engine, but fitted with reduction gear which enables the engine to be placed low down in the fuselage, thus retaining the features of the upright type with the advantages of the inverted engine. The main characteristics of this machine - which has wooden wings and welded steel tube fuselage - are: span, 38 ft. 9 in.; wing area, 236-7 sq. ft.; weight empty, 1,279 lbs.; useful load, 617-4 lbs.; total weight, 1,896-4 lbs.; speed range, 43 - 105 m.p.h.; climb, 8,200 ft. in 21 min.; duration (cruising speed), 5 hrs. The Breda Company are delivering 100 of these seaplanes to civilian aero clubs in different parts of Italy.

EASE OF INGRESS AND EGRESS: Larger doors have been fitted to the Moth Trainer, so that in emergency both occupants can get clear with their parachutes.

The McGill University Light Aeroplane Club have recently taken delivery of this 1931 Moth (Gipsy II). The club is affiliated to the Montreal Light Aeroplane Club whose instructor, Capt. H. Spooner, is on the left with his ground engineer, Mr. F. Hopkins, on the right. This Moth is the first aeroplane to be delivered to a University Club in Canada.

MANUALLY OPERATED. - The cockpit of a D.H. "Moth," which has been specially built for Capt. Chevalier Willy Coppens, Order of St. Leopold, D.S.O., M.C., Legion d'Honneur, Belgian Air Attache in London and Paris. It will be seen from the accompanying illustration that the controls have been arranged to obviate the use of a rudder bar, since Capt. Willy Coppens has had the misfortune to lose a leg. The wheel is rotated to work the rudder, and the whole column worked sideways and fore and aft in the usual manner for ailerons and elevator. The "bird-cage" on the left is a special map-holder.

NEW LINES: The general conception of the machine is unorthodox, apart from the construction, and good view from the cabin has been one of the considerations. The registration letters have photographed somewhat indistinctly. They are G-AARP.

THE MONO-SPAR COMPANY'S EXPERIMENTAL MACHINE: These two views of the machine in flight show the excellent visibility from the cabin, and the pronounced taper of the wing. The engines are 50 h.p. Salmsons.

THE FUSELAGE BOOM: Details of the construction. The corner strips and surrounding bracing are of Duralumin. The depth of the boom is approximately one foot, and it is placed in the bottom of the fuselage, the outer form of which is produced by hoops and stringers.

The Shackleton glider which has been found excellent for training and also for more advanced work in Australia. It is obvious that cheapness in production has been borne in mind in the design, which should make it very suitable for clubs.

An all-Australian light aircraft which has been designed, constructed, and flown by Mr. Staig, an amateur pilot of the Victoria Aero Club, at Essendon. The engine, which is not unlike Cirrus Mark I, has been designated "Cirrus Staig" - Mr. Staig having himself made pistons, cylinders, tappets and tappet rods. The 31-gallon tank capacity will give it a flying range of approximately 400 miles.
