A "MOVIE" MONOPLANE. This is the new racing machine built (by an unknown manufacturer) for Mr. Howard Hughes, the American film director. It will attack the landplane speed record. The engine appears to be a two-row Pratt and Whitney or Wright. The arrangement of the retractable undercarriage is interesting.

A cut-away view of the cabin of the machine which, in the hands of Flt. Lt. Rose, won the King's Cup at 176.28 m.p.h. Providing comfort better than that of the majority of motor cars, the Falcon's upholstery (by Rumbold) is extremely pleasing. Among the instruments can be seen the Sestrel compass, Reid and Sigrist turn indicator, and an array of Smith's aircraft instruments. On the left of the control column is the flap-operating lever, and in front are those for brakes and tail trim.

AN OPEN GULL. It will be agreed that this new open-cockpit two-seater Percival Gull is an extremely pretty aeroplane. Built for the Maharajah of Jodhpur, it is fitted with a Gipsy Six engine, electric starting, dual control and special tankage arrangements which give it a range of 800 miles.

The news that Lord Wakefield has presented to the R.Ae.C. a cheque tor L250 to be awarded to Capt E. W Percival as a special Prize in recognition of his performance in the King's Cup race lends interest to this general arrangement drawing and data - not generally known - of the Mew Gull. It will be recalled that, although he was not placed in the Final, Capt. Percival averaged 208.91 m.p.h. over the 350 miles and made the fastest lap of the day with a speed of 211.2 m.p.h. The machine was entered for the race by H.R.H. The Duke of Kent

TRANSOCEANIC CONTRAST. This photograph, recently received from Para, Brazil, shows a B.A. Eagle in company with the famous Sikorsky S.42 Brazilian Clipper. The Eagle is that in which Senor Pombo, who is one of the group, flew the South Atlantic in 16 hr. 40 min. from Bathurst. The picture is of particular interest in view of the fact that the British Aircraft Manufacturing Company hold the rights of building the S.42 in England.

SEATING TWO, side by side, the American Aeronca is shortly to be built either at Hanworth or Aldenham, by Lightplanes Ltd. Mr. B. Brady has the British Empire manufacturing rights for this American design and, with the collaboration of J. A. Prestwich and Co , of motor cycle fame, who will build the engine, it is hoped to market it at ?395. The fuselage is of welded steel tubes and the wing of wood and metal. The cruising speed will be 85 m.p.h and range about 300 miles.
