THE ATLANTIC CIRCUMNAVIGATED: Two views of the Dornier Do.X moored off Calshot. These pictures give a good idea of the height of the propellers above the water line, where they are well protected against spray. The use of the lower wing stumps as boarding platforms is also well brought out.

The Annual Display of the Scottish Flying Club was held at Moorpark Aerodrome, Renfrew, on May 21, 22 and 23 in "some" rain. "Heracles," the Imperial Airways H.P.42, flew up so that visitors were able to have joy rides in a modern large aircraft. On Saturday there was a display by No. 602 (City of Glasgow) (Bomber) Squadron, A.A.F., in their Westland "Wapitis."

WITH THE POWERS OF NEMESIS: Capt. A. G. Lamplugh, Underwriter and Principal Surveyor of the British Aviation Insurance Co., Ltd., is here seen at Heston with his company's "Puss Moth." Everyone was glad to see him walking about again after his accident. He looked very fit, although it will be seen that hoped that he still has to rely on a strut for his "undercarriage."

THE FIFTH AND LATEST: The Blackburn Iris "family" has reached its fifth descendant with the "Iris V" shown here in flight. This is by far the most powerful of these Blackburn boats, being driven by three Rolls-Royce "Buzzard" engines of more than 800 h.p. each. As a result of the extra power the performance is greatly improved, and the machine will maintain flight with any one of the three engines stopped.

H.E. The Viceroy and Lady Willingdon arrived by aeroplane at Peshawar on the 16th April, to install the new Governor of Province (Sir Ralph Griffiths), and to inaugurate the new Legislative Council.

A FOREIGN VISITOR: The Raab-Katzenstein (Siemens) which Herr Max Behland has brought over to Heston. It is understood that he will be giving some acrobatic displays, a form of flying at which he is particularly experienced.

FROM FINLAND TO THE CAPE IN A JUNKERS "JUNIOR": As previously recorded in "Flight," Capt. V. E. Bremer, the Finnish airman, recently flew from Finland to Capetown in a Junkers "Junior" (Armstrong-Siddeley "Genet"). Our picture shows Capt. Bremer with his machine about to leave Helsingfors - actually, he flew the "Junior" and did not haul in as shown! During this trip he made two fine non-stop flights, from Naples to Tunis, across the Mediterranean, and from Cairo to Wadi Haifa - a distance of 750 miles in 7 hours.
