Bristol "Bulldog IV" (Bristol "Perseus" sleeve valve engine).
EAST IS WEST: Joyriding is now very popular with Japanese girls. Here are two "Geishas" about to make a flight in a Junkers F.13 operated by Japan Air Transport Institution at Ohama, Sakai, near Osaka.
Vickers-Supermarine "Spitfire" (Rolls-Royce "Goshawk" engine).
AMERICA'S FLEET FIGHTER: The Boeing F4B-4 with supercharged Pratt and Whitney "Wasp."
Short R.24/31 (two Rolls-Royce "Goshawk").
Popularly known as the “Knuckleduster” the flying boat shown was fitted with two Rolls-Royce Goshawk steam-cooled engines.
Handley Page "Heyford" (two "Kestrel" III.MS).

GETTING UPSTAIRS: Rapid climb is a first consideration in an interceptor fighter. The Hawker "Highspeed Fury" is seen here on its way upwards. The engine is a steam-cooled Rolls-Royce "Goshawk" 12-cyl. Vee type. This machine will be seen in public for the first time at the R.A.F. Display at Hendon next Saturday.
FAST FIGHTERS FOR PORTUGAL: One of a batch of Hawker "Furies" (R.R. "Kestrel") which have been purchased by the Portuguese Government.
"Furies" ("Kestrel") of No. 43 (Fighter) Squadron.
Cierva "Autogiro" (Armstrong-Siddeley "Civet" engine).
ALLEZ OOP! The new C.30 P Autogiro leaps off the ground almost like a circus horse, and no doubt the extra power of the 7-cylinder "Genet Major" engine has a lot to do with this. Mr. H. A. Marsh, test pilot to the Autogiro Co., is an adept at demonstration, and in this case showed conclusively that this latest Autogiro has a far better take-off than the majority of other aircraft. Access to the passengers' cockpit is much better in this model, the side of the fuselage by the front cockpit having been made like a roll-top desk so that it can readily be lowered.
IN IRAQ: No. 55 (Bomber) Squadron fly their "Wapitis" ("Jupiter") in "echelon, stepped up" across the River Tigris at Baghdad.

A FAST AMPHIBIAN: The Grumman XJF-1 two-seater for the U.S. Navy.
THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE: An artist's conception of the Avro 652 (two "Cheetah") briefly described in "Flight" last week. Two machines of this type have been ordered by Imperial Airways. The Caudron monoplane described above is in the same class, and a comparison between the two machines is interesting. The French example has considerably lower power than the Avro, is claimed to be faster and to land more slowly. Both types carry six passengers.
"MILITARY LOAD" - AND MORE. An 18-in. torpedo and an assortment of bombs on a Vickers "Vildebeest" torpedo bomber. Bombs and torpedo are alternative loadings. It is not possible to carry both at the same time.
A SPEEDY VISITOR: The Heinkel H.E.70A (630-h.p. B.M.W.) which gave demonstration flights at Croydon on Monday. It has a top speed of 230 m.p.h. and a cruising speed of about 200 m.p.h. The wheels fold outwards, into the wings.
Avro "Tutor" (Siddeley "Lynx" IV C).
COULD PEGOUD HAVE FORESEEN THIS? Before he made the first loop, it is said that the French pilot Pegoud had himself strapped upside down to a bench to grow accustomed to the sensation. These instructors of the Central Flying School at Wittering seem quite at home in their inverted Avro "Tutors," in which they will perform at the R.A.F. Display.
AN INTERNATIONAL GATHERING: A view along the machine park at Vincennes. The Avro "Tutor" of the ill-fated Portuguese competitor is in the foreground.
"Demon" ("Kestrel") two-seater fighters of No. 23 (Fighter) Squadron.
A BUSH AERODROME: Native interest in a "Gull" on Bathurst Is., N. Australia. The aerodrome was constructed under the supervision of Mr. F. X. Grell for use of any who may make the Timor Sea crossing and are in need of a "port of call."
BUILT FOR THE JOB: The Breda 28 "aerobatic" machine.
Built specially for the "feeder-line" services of K.L.M., the Koolhoven F.K.48 monoplane shown here may be fitted with two "Gipsy Major" or "Hermes IV" engines. Four different cabin layouts are available: for "feeder-line" work, air taxi service, joyriding, or for the carriage of freight or mail. In its "feeder-line" form, the machine carries pilot, wireless operator, six passengers and luggage at a cruising speed of 118 m.p.h. For an aircraft of only 260 h.p. this is a very creditable performance.
BAPTISMAL: Miss Fiona Mackinnon, aged thirteen months, christens her father's new "Dragon" at Penhurst Aerodrome. The machine is equipped with Marconi directional wireless.
ANOTHER AIR MAIL PENNANT: A new air mail service between Inverness and Kirkwall, Orkney, was inaugurated on Tuesday of last week (May 29) at Londman Aerodrome, Inverness, when the Royal Ait Mail Pennant was presented by Sir Frederick Williamson, Director of Postal Services, to Capt. Fresson, of Highland Airways.

Buck, is here seen christening one of the Airspeed "Couriers," employed on this service, City of Southampton, at the Municipal Airport of Southampton.
THE RAPIER "COURIER": Air Vice-Marshal A. E. Borton, Director of D. Napier & Son, Ltd., has had one of his company's "Rapier" engines fitted to this Airspeed "Courier," and has entered the combination in the King's Cup race. A high performance is expected.
TROOP TRANSPORT OVERSEAS: The "Victoria" (two "Lions") carries 25 soldiers and their equipment. It is used by Nos. 216 (Bomber-Transport) Squadron at Heliopolis, Egypt, and No. 70 (B-T) Squadron at Hinaidi, Iraq.
THE FORD FREIGHTER: The Tri-motor Ford which, in conveying machinery, etc., to the mines 12,000 ft. up, has to clear part of the Andes into the bargain!
