One of the first batch of production-model Miles "Falcons," taken last week-end by a Flight photographer over Reading Aerodrome, where the makers' works are situated, and which is the home of the Reading Aero Club. The engine of the "Falcon" is a 130 h.p. "Gipsy Major" and the cabin seats three passengers and a pilot in comfort.

Ready for test: A Bristol "Bulldog" with Napier "Rapier" engine on the balance of the 24ft. wind tunnel. Control of the exit of the cooling air reduced the cost of cooling to 1 per cent. of the power of the engine.

A 550 h.p. supercharged "Wasp" gives the Boeing 281 a speed of 232.5 m.p.h. The "treadle" type undercarriage is an interesting feature.

"WITH BOOTS ON." Senor de la Cierva testing a C.30 Autogiro seaplane over the Medway at Rochester, where it has been fitted with floats by Short Brothers. The first Autogiro seaplane had an Avro "Avian" fuselage and was persuaded off the water off Hamble in Southampton Water. This happened many years ago, when the present system of rotor-starting had not been evolved.

SALUTE: The Duke of Gloucester, who is now home in England, made several flights during his world tour. At Balboa, Canal Zone, he broke his homeward journey in order to make a long flight over the Isthmus of Panama in a U.S. Navy Douglas "Dolphin." A detachment of the 33rd United States Infantry is here shown giving the Duke a musical send-off on that occasion

ETHYLISED: The "Dragon Six" which the Ethyl Export Corporation has just taken over for work in Europe and the East. The "Gipsy Six" engines have special aluminium cylinder heads with steel valve seats and Stellited valves, to enable advantage to be taken of the widespread supplies of leaded fuels of high octane value. The cabin is luxurious and the machine is finished in black and yellow. Mr. D. W. Lucke is the pilot.

BERLIN LOOKS SKYWARD. The annual "People's Flying Day" was celebrated at Tempelhof Airport last Sunday, and this time the open possession of an air force added to the spectacular nature of the event, which was combined with "Air Force Day," the anniversary of Richthofen's death. The formation seen in this photograph is a very non-aggressive one of Klemm monoplanes.

THE TRIAL OF '35: A new Bellanca "Cargo Aircruiser," with a 700 h.p. Wright "Cyclone" engine, which has been delivered to Mackenzie Air Service, Ltd., the Canadian company, for work in connection with silver mining. The company's president, Mr. Leigh Brintnell, is here seen beside the new acquisition, of which he is also the pilot.

AN OUTSIZE IN AMPHIBIANS: Powered with two geared "Cyclones" of 715 h.p., this big Bellanca amphibian carries eighteen passenger at cruising speed of about 170 m.p.h. There is over fifty cubic feet of baggage space in the stub wings. The machine is a development of the Bellanca bomber, described in Flight, of February, 8 this year.

The cabin of the "Merlin" seats four passengers in perfect comfort, one beside the pilot and three on the seat behind. The door slides up easily and allows ample space for getting in and out of the cabin.

PARIS WITHIN THE HOUR: The D.H. "Comet" for the French Air Ministry which, in the hands of Mr. Buckingham, flew from Croydon to Le Bourget in 54 minutes. This machine, one of two ordered, will probably be used on the French mail route across the South Atlantic, with Jean Mermoz as pilot.

A CHARTER FLEET: Six Koolhoven F.K.43 machines which are used by K.L.M. for light charter work. The family resemblance to the unhappily defunct Mark II Desoutter is as striking as it is inevitable.

Workmanlike in appearance, the Rumanian I.C.A.R. commercial monoplane cruises at 130 m.p.h. with six passengers. The long, chord cowling of the 360 h.p. Siddeley "Serval" radial is noteworthy.

A NEW VERSION. This new model of the Spartan "Cruiser" (three Gipsy "Majors") has a cantilever undercarriage with "full-cut trousers." The front part of the fuselage is still built-up, boat-fashion, of light alloy, but the rear part is now a welded steel-tube structure with doped fabric covering. The machine, which was one of the exhibits at last Saturday's Egyptian Mission visit to Croydon, is being used by Spartan Air Lines between London and Isle of Wight.

READY FOR MARTLESHAM. Capt. Cordes flying the new Handley Page 47 (Bristol "Pegasus") General Purpose machine. From the angle of the rudder and the general attitude it would appear that the machine was, at that instant, side-slipping slightly towards the Handley Page "Heyford" from which a Flight photographer took the picture.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Handley Page H.P.47 - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1933

These three striking Flight photographs of the new Handley Page H.P.47 General Purpose aeroplane show the clean aerodynamic design and small size, made possible by the utilisation to the fullest extent of leading-edge slots, slotted trailing edge flaps, and "interceptors" or "lift spoilers." The rear view, taken from a Handley Page "Heyford," shows the machine from an unusual angle. The engine fitted is a Bristol "Pegasus."

Slots and spats of the new G.P. Handley Page. Note the slightly curved rails on which the slots move. The leading edge slots are automatic in action.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Handley Page H.P.47 - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1933

The unusual tail arrangement of the H.P.47 is well shown in these photographs. As the fin and rudder are ahead of the horizontal tail surfaces they are not "blanketed" at large angles of incidence. The picture on the right gives a good idea of the view and field of fire obtained by the rear gunner.

Powerful lateral control is obtained by fitting "interceptors" behind the wing-tip slots. The interceptor is here shown in the "up" position.

A BOLD BELGIAN EFFORT. This is a photograph of a model of the Stampe et Vertongen S.V.-10 multi-seater bombing, reconnaissance and fighting machine now being constructed for the Belgian Government. It will have two Gnome Rhone 14 Krsd radials of 800 h.p. A maximum speed of 217 m.p.h. is called for by the contract, but this figure will probably be exceeded.

A PRODUCT OF POOLED RESOURCES: The new Breguet-Wibault 670 (two 900 h.p. "Mistral Majors") which has a top speed of 219 m.p.h. and, on 62 1/2 per cent, of its power, carries eighteen passengers at 186 m.p.h. It will shortly be presented for its official test.
