Details of the central control box, carrying the hinged control column and the support for the two pairs of pedals. Hingeing of the column in this manner provides full aileron movement without incommoding the passengers, although the column is between them.

Artillery Reconnaissance: This "Audax" of No. 16 (A.C.) Squadron is practising with a puff target. The smoke puffs are exploded from the ground to represent shell-bursts, and the pilot sends down a wireless observation after each salvo until he has directed the battery on to the target. This machine is flying comparatively low in order to appear in the photograph.

UNIQUE: The floating seaplane dock at Pembroke is unique in being the only one of the type in the world. It can be sunk to take any vessel, seaplane or flying boat up to a draught of seven feet. Four adjustable jacks are provided, also workshops capable of undertaking extensive repairs. It will accommodate two flying boats at one time. On the dock is one of the four Short "Singapores" which left for the Far East on Tuesday Commanded by Flt. Lt. H. A. Castaldini (Retd.), who was in charge of all the water transport during the last Schneider contest, the dock is a model of efficiency and tidiness.

HIGH-SPEED SERVICE DEVELOPMENT: In a leading article last week Flight called attention to the threat to British commercial flying boat supremacy. On the Service side progress is steadier, and the new Vickers-Supermarine flying boat (Bristol "Pegasus" engines), shown in this remarkable photograph, is one of several types now undergoing trials.

CHILE! This Avro 626 (Siddeley "Cheetah") training machine was flown over the Andes in mid-winter by Mr. H. A. Brown, the makers' chief test pilot, accompanied by his engineer, Mr. Harper. It was necessary to cross the range at 18,000 ft., and the machine was loaded to a gross weight of 3,250 lb. The "626" was the first of its type to be delivered to the Chilean Air Force. This group, taken at Santiago de Chile, shows (left to right) Senor Paul Besa, Commodoro Franki, Commodoro Don Diego Aracena (Chief of the Chilean Air Force), Mr. Brown and Commandante Castro.

FLAPS FOR THE "EXPRESS": This photograph shows how the new split flaps, which are to be fitted to all future D.H. 86 s. present considerable area to the flow. They are operated by oil pressure and the whole movement can be made in 20 seconds The glide is steepened from 1 in 9 1/2 at 80 m.p.h to 1 in 6 1/2 at 75 m.p.h. and the landing speed reduced by 5 m.p.h.

WHAT OF 1935? Last year Jersey Airways carried more than 20,000 passengers, using eight "Dragons." Here are seven on the beach at St. Helier; the charabanc "waiting room" in the middle foreground was lost at sea soon after this picture was taken! The cause was a high tide.

TAKING SHAPE : The single spar for the Blackburn-Duncanson H.S.T.10 monoplane described in Flight of November 29, 1934, is one of the components now nearing completion. The central portion of the built-up tubular spar forms the petrol tank, so that the weight of separate tanks is saved.
