In the August issue of Air Pictorial "Aeroscribe" wrote about bomb-shaped high-speed targets called radops, and published photographs showing single radops being towed by a T-33 and Skyray. One of our readers - S. Pehz, of West Norwood, London - sent in a photograph of a Martin B-57A target plane equipped with TWO radops which we reproduce here. In his letter Mr. Peltz says: "I am told that T-33s tow targets like these for F.86D Sabres."

MARK TWO CHANNEL; Responding to our pleas for rare photographs, Swedish industrial designer Bjorn Karlstrom of Bromma has submitted this hitherto unpublished photograph of the one and only Supermarine Channel Mk. II which was supplied to the Royal Swedish Navy ca. 1919. Herr Karlstrom says that the Channel II was well thought of and regarded as "the most beautiful craft of its day". Unfortunately, it crashed at Fjaderholmarna, near Stockholm, killing the pilot. The Mk. II was powered by a 240-h.p. Siddeley Puma (Mk. I: 160-h.p. Beardmore), and was a post-war development of the Admiralty Air Dept. A.D. Flying-Boat of 1915, built by Pemberton-Billing Ltd., which later became Supermarine Aviation Works Ltd. of Southampton.

WHO'S THE PILOT? From a Tiger Moth (G-APJP) owner, J. Pothecary of Salisbury, Wiltshire, comes this fragment of a late-production Bristol T.B.8 Tractor Biplane 2-seat trainer of 1914-15. The neatly cowled rotary is a 100-h.p. Gnome Monosoupape. Its particular history is unknown to Mr. Pothecary. We know that about thirty-six T.B.8s were built, of which some were supplied to the R.N.A.S., and six went to Roumania. Earlier variants were powered by the 80-h. p. category rotaries, Gnome, Le Rhone and Clerget. Span 37 ft. 8 in.; length 29 ft. 3 in.; max. speed 73 m.p.h.

SHIP OF THE AIR. Another reader of Air Pictorial has sent along this "strange device" which he claims was flown at pine Point, U.S.A., in April 1930 by its "inventor", John Domenjoz. Car-towed at 50 m.p.h. on a 500-ft. cable, this "sailplane" reached an altitude of 200 ft. above the sands at Old Orchard. The idea is obvious but its fate is obscure. Readers, please advise.

BOGNOR "BLOATER". From Roger Straker of Bognor Regie, Sussex, comes this fascinating photograph of the Bognor "Bloater" - otherwise the White & Thompson Admiralty landplane of 1915. Only two photographs are extant and these were unearthed by historian J. M. Bruce. The Bloater" gained its nickname from the scaly effect created by copper wire-stitching the cedar plywood-covered monococque fuselage. Twelve were ordered for the R.N.A.S. and built by W. & T. Lid. at Bognor - testing being carried out on Middleton sands, as shown here. Power was a 70-h.p. Renault. Performance details are not known. Can any reader assist?

THE STRATO-GYRO According to our contributor the story of the "Stratosphere-Gyro" of August 1930 is one of "faith moving mountains but not helicopters. The inventor/constructor/pilot of this one-off was a "Dr." Valentine Newbauer, ironically enough of Hollywood, Calif. It seems the inventor believed that his 3,496-lb. machine would shoot up into the Kennelly Heaviside Layer (some 50 miles above the earth) and would then permit him to remain stationary while the earth revolved beneath him. His hope was to spy through a telescope and pick out a likely spot to land in Germany. The tank capacity for the unspecified engine was 44 gallons, giving a cruising radius of 700 miles. Unfortunately, the Strato-Gyro never left the ground.
