The same aircraft, in original form, at the Lympne lightplane trials in October 1923.
AFTER A FLIGHT: Bringing in the "Hurricane" monoplane. The lower picture gives a good idea of the lines of this machine, the general arrangement drawings of which were published last week. Inset, the machine in flight.

"SIDE AND UP-SIDE" LINES AT THE BOURNEMOUTH AVIATION MEETING: Flt.-Lieut. J. S. Chick making a test flight on the R.A.E. "Hurricane" (Bristol "Cherub").
THE RACE FOR THE GROSVENOR CHALLENGE CUP: No less than 21 machines faced the starter for this race, a record number. The result was that machines frequently got bunched together at the turning points. Our photograph show one of some such incidents. In 3 may be recognised the Short "Satellite," the Parnall "Pixie" and the R.A.E. "Hurricane."

Watt on the "Swallow" seen on the extreme left about to cross the line, from Flt.-Lieut. J. S. Chick on the R.A.E. "Hurricane," seen "jumping the hurdles" on the extreme right.
