Регистрационный номер : L8466 THE RISING TIDE: This impressive photograph points its own <...>. It was taken inside Rootes’ shadow factory at Speke, Liverpool, which was inspected by the Secretary of State for Air last week. The Blenheims are lifted out of the lines by overhead cranes as completed.

Capt Harold Balfour, Under-Secretary of State for Air (and a very accomplished pilot), paid a visit last Friday to Rootes’ shadow factory at Liverpool. He is seen examining Blenheim tail-trimming controls in company with Mr. W. E. Rootes (right), chairman of Rootes’ Securities, and Mr. Trowbridge, works manager of the factory.

FASTEST ON THE LEVEL: Flight Captain Dieterle in the specially prepared Heinkel in which he is claimed to have covered 3 km. (1.86 miles), at a speed of 463.8 m.p.h. Presumably - though confirmation is unobtainable - this was a two-way mean speed. The engine is a Daimler Benz inverted vee-twelve of unknown horse-power, but certainly delivering more than the 1,175 h.p. quoted in the Press.

TRACTIVE EFFORT: Capt. J. H. Cordes retracts the undercarriage of a Hampden as he passes - on the L.M.S. line skirting Handley Page’s Radlett Aerodrome - a “Garratt” type locomotive, which is capable of a tractive effort of 45,620 lb. The combined take-off output of the Pegasus engines of the Hampden is between 1,900 and 2,000 h.p.

HURRICANES FOR YUGO-SLAVIA. It may be remembered that Yugo-Slavia purchased a batch of Hawker Furies some time ago. The excellent service which these have given has, no doubt, induced that country to purchase (and ultimately to build under licence) the Hurricane. This Flight photograph shows one of the machines “posed” at a striking angle by Flt. Lt. R. C. Reynell, one of the Hawker test pilots.

CONSOLIDATED EXPERIENCE: Much that is sound in the layout of equipment of modern multi-engined long-range aircraft may be studied in these three interior views of the Consolidated Model 28 twin-engined flying boat, which is generally similar to the PBY series supplied to the U.S. Navy. In the view (pilots’ instrument panel; the duplicated blind flying panels are seen to the left and right and the Sperry automatic pilot panel is in the centre. The finger-hole dial on the left is apparently a remote control spot-wave selector for the radio. Upper centre is a small warning light indicating the motion of the retractable wing-tip floats.

HISTORICAL: This 6-ft. span model of the famous Blackburn Kangaroo has been presented to Hull Municipal Museums by Blackburn Aircraft Ltd The Kangaroo (with two Sunbeam engines and later with Rolls-Royce Falcons) was designed in 1916 as a bomber and submarine spotter and a number were constructed as landplanes. After the war some were modified for passenger transport, as seen in the model. They were also used for the training of R.A.F. Reserve officers at Brough until as late as 1929.

This picture of a model of the Fairey F.C-1. gives a good idea of how the machine will look. It is possible that the triple-rudder arrangement will give way to a twin-rudder type of tail. The engines will be Bristol Taurus of about 1,000 h.p. each; it is expected to cruise at 220 m.p.h.

Регистрационный номер : L3057 NOT-SO-MYTHICAL. According to the encyclopaedia, the roc was a fabulous bird of the East, so huge that it bore off elephants to feed its young. The Blackburn Roc, of which details are now released, is neither fabulous nor gigantic, but it is obviously a very efficient two-seater fighter for the Fleet Air Arm. It closely follows the lines of the Skua, and the engine is a Bristol Perseus. Either a retractable wheel undercarriage or a float undercarriage may be fitted.

Shorts in the beginning: Their first machine, a biplane, had a front elevator and wing-tip rudders. It never actually left the ground.

Another interesting machine, one of which was owned by Moore-Brabazon, was the British-built Short biplane shown in the illustration. As will be seen, this machine was very similar to the Wright biplane - and also used the starting rail - the main differences being in the "chassis" and control surfaces.
"Short No. 2" resembled No. 1, but the rudder was carried on outriggers and not on the wing tips. Note the unusual lateral controllers. On this machine Lt. Col. Moore-Brabazon flew a mile in a closed circuitСамолёты на фотографии: Short Biplane No.2 - Великобритания - 1909

The Short “Double Twin” of 1911 had two rotary engines, with the pilot placed between them.
One of the most influential and yet least-known of British aviation pioneers, Frank McClean acquired the land at Eastchurch in November 1909 and gave use of it to the RAeC for a fixed annual rent of a shilling. Seen here is his modified Short S.27, known as the “Tandem Twin” or “Double Dirty”.Самолёты на фотографии: Short Tandem Twin / S.39 Triple Twin - Великобритания - 1911

The “Triple Twin” had two rotary engines and three airscrews.

Search for better efficiency led to the first Short tractor biplane (70 h.p. Gnome rotary).
A much modified ex-Grace S.27 in its final tractor form . It had been Grace's idea to convert it in this way, but work slowed down after his death and Frank McClean had it finished later.Самолёты на фотографии: Short S.36 / S.45 tractor biplane - Великобритания - 1912

One of the S38s with the c/n. 559 on the heel of the rudder.
The Short S.38 showed Farman influence, but differed in having a nacelle and a front elevator. The engine was a Gnome rotary. In this picture Oswald Short is in the pilot’s seat and Eustace is the passenger.Самолёты на фотографии: Short S.38 - Великобритания - 1912

GOLDEN HIND: A Flight drawing anticipating the appearance of the Golden Hind, one of the three Short “G” Class flying boats for Imperial Airways. She will be considerably longer than her Elizabethan namesake and will weigh rather more than 32 tons. Drake's vessel was probably of about 100 tons. Note that the rear step follows Sunderland practice rather than Empire boat design. The engines are four Bristol Hercules.

The Valetta makes an interesting comparison with the Calcutta flying boat, which had similar power plants. A Valetta was flown to South Africa by Sir Alan Cobham in 1931, though this trip is not to be confused with his circuit of the same continent in a Singapore.

PRESSURE CABIN EXPERIMENTS: For some time General Aircraft have been working on pressure cabin problems, and here is the special pressurised section of a fuselage for an S.T.25 which is nearing completion. An auxiliary petrol engine, actually an Aero Engine Sprite, with a blower, is to be used to maintain sea-level pressure up to 15,000ft., with a progressive rate of production above this height. The experiment should be particularly useful in settling structural design problems, especially those relating to windscreens and doors.
