OLD AND NEW: A 1914 R.A.F. Farman, and a 1931 R.A.A.F. Bristol "Bulldog." The Farman is owned by Mr. R. Graham Carey, of the Victorian Aero Club, who has had it re-conditioned for passenger carrying, etc. It is fitted with a 90 h.p. R.A.F. engine.

FUELLING: This view of one of the new Supermarine Rolls-Royce S.6 B machines gives a very good idea of the clean lines and small frontal area. Large quantities of petrol are carried in the floats, more in one than in the other, in order to counteract the propeller torque.
The two S.6Bs were powered by the 2,300 h.p. Rolls-Royce R.

A BRITISH TRIUMPH OF ENGINEERING: The Rolls-Royce "R" type racing engine fitted in the Schneider machines has been developed from the "H" type, but gives well over 2,000 h.p. for a weight of rather less than three-quarters of a pound per horsepower. The engine is geared and supercharged. In the upper photograph the supercharger can be seen on the left, while the two lower photographs show the engine from the front and from the rear.

A GOOD JOB WELL DONE: Flt. Lt. G. H. Stainforth returns to Calshot after establishing the new world's speed record. The photograph shows rather well the somewhat unusual shape of the Fairey metal airscrew. The pitch, it will be noticed, is quite perceptible.

A NEW TAILLESS AIRCRAFT: Herr Lippisch, chief designer of the Rhon-Rossitten Ges., has produced this new tailless aircraft at the Wasserkuppe. After considerable trials as a glider it was fitted with a Siemens engine and has now been taken by Herr Koehl, of trans-Atlantic fame, to Berlin. It is exceptionally clean and highly efficient as one would expect from the designer of the world's most successful gliders such as the Wien and the Fafnir.

FAST TOURING: A fine flying view of the Lockheed "Sirius" seaplane in which Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh are touring the world. This machine has extra tanks giving it a very large range, is very completely equipped with flying instruments and wireless transmission and receiving installations. The speed of this "Sirius" has made it possible for Col. Lindbergh to make the trip from New York to Tokio via Alaska and the Behring Sea in a total flying time of 84 hr. 5 min.
