THE ILL-FATED SUBMARINE AIRCRAFT CARRIER M.2: In " Flight " for July 31, 1931, we published an account of a trip to sea in this strange form of aircraft carrier. On Tuesday, January 26, she was last seen by the Captain of a coastal steamer, who reported that she sank stern first. Up to Wednesday evening no official news had been received which gave any hope that the crew would be saved, but it was rumoured that an obstruction had been found during sweeping operations. Whether or not this was the vessel was still uncertain, and grave fears were held for the lives of the crew.
The Peto, with wings folded, about to run out onto the M.2’s catapult. Completed by Vickers in 1918 and called K.19, this submarine was first commissioned on November 5, 1919. Armed with a battleship's 12in gun housed in a turret forward of the conning tower, M.2, as she was renamed, was designed for coastal bombardment. The submarine was 305ft long and was powered by two sets of 12-cylinder diesels giving a total of 2,400hp.

A NEW COUZINET: At the last Paris Aero Show Rene Couzinet exhibited a small three-engined monoplane with Salmson A.D.9 engines. That machine had a retractable under-carriage. The new type shown here has a fixed undercarriage fitted with "spats," and the engines are De Havilland "Gipsy III." The wing between outboard engines and fuselage is very thick. This machine may soon be sent on a world tour.

SAFETY, COMFORT AND EFFICIENCY. Attention to detail design is undoubtedly the secret of successful aircraft. It will be seen that the aircraft being turned out by General Aircraft, Ltd., of Croydon, embody very definite ideas on this subject. Mr. H. J. Stieger is one of the younger generation of designers who are not afraid of incorporating ideas which are radically different from those of accepted practice. The Monospar aircraft appear to be streamlined to the limit, while at the same time providing a perfect view for the pilot, together with immunity from forced landings by virtue of the two Pobjoy engines which are used. The full four-seater fuselage does not appear bulky, yet ample room is provided for the passengers. For commercial work where a large number of passengers is not required this machine should have a wide field of usefulness.

The Sikorsky Amphibian used on the expedition and flown by Robert A. Smith, at rest with its nose on the beach at Lake Yaxha, Guatemala. Its advent at first amazed the native Indian family, but they soon realised the huge bird from which white men stepped out meant no harm, and - as the picture shows - went on calmly with their daily tasks.

The only additional instrument fitted is the latest form of P. B. Deviator and has proved itself easy to follow, though somewhat more sluggish than many of its competitors. Several members have already taken the course of instrument flying.
