POLICING THE DESERT FRONTIER: Taken at a landing ground on the edge of the Wadi Sirhan. These six machines were doing a long reconnaissance, during a Wahabi revolt. A large party of Wahabis were sitting on their frontier, but a few miles away, when this photo was taken.

THE SHORT R.24/31: Raising of the wings by giving a large dihedral angle to the wing roots, and the disappearance of the bulging chine are features of this machine. The engines are Rolls-Royce experimental.

Knuckleduster 1934. This flying-boat had gull-shaped wings and two steam-cooled engines.
The Short S.18 "Knuckleduster" contributed much to the design of the Empire and Sunderland flying boats.

SPEEDING-UP BRITISH AIR TRANSPORT: The de Havilland D.H.86 can be regarded as a high-speed development of the "Dragon," from which it differs in having four engines and very tapered wings. The machine has not been through the Martlesham tests yet, and no official performance figures are, therefore, available, but one only has to see it fly to realise that it is very fast indeed.

Jones, of No. 209 (Flying Boat) Squadron, flew the machine non-stop to Plymouth, where it arrived the same afternoon.

A SPLENDID RECORD: The crew of the K.L.M. Fokker F.XVIII, Pelikaan, in which they flew from Amsterdam to Batavia and back in record times. They are, from left to right, I. W. Smirnoff and P. Soer (pilots), J. M. H. Grosveld (mechanic), and C. H. van Beukering (wireless operator). Unfortunately, we published in last week's issue (page 11) an illustration which was stated to be the Pelikaan, but as a matter of fact the wrong photograph was inserted by mistake. Actually, the machine shown was the Snip - a sister plane on the same service. Sincere apologies!
