IN BELGIUM: The Beechcraft C.17R exhibited at the Brussels Show by Aviquipo. Surrey Flying Services did some high-pressure work in installing the machine at the show after it had been held up at Croydon awaiting an export licence. Incidentally, a rather novel brochure, "A Day in the Life of a Beechcraft," containing copies of an American commercial log, is issued by Surrey's at Croydon.

Appearing here by virtue of its rarity value is Chrislea CH.3 srs 4 Skyjeep CX-AMR in the standard factory paint scheme. Only two other Skyjeeps were completed and all three were exported. This example was photographed not later than 1959 by Nery Mendiburu, via G.Kuhn.

New problems start with the photograph below submitted by Gerard Terry. It may show Gerhard Fieseler himself in Raab-Katzenstein RKIIc D-1212 c/n 65, and is said to have been taken at Stanley Park, Blackpool in 1928-9. Can anyone confirm or add to these details please?
We already have received a fairly rapid confirmation that the photograph in the last issue of the Raab-Katzenstein 'Schwalbe' D-1212 could have been taken in 1928 at Blackpool. Philip D.Trevor writes that the Blackpool Aviation Meeting was held at Squires Gate aerodrome on the South Shore on July 6th and 7th 1928. On both days Herr Fieseler gave aerobatic displays in the aircraft which was specially fitted with a 120hp Siemens engine. The displays included an outside loop which Fieseler claimed to be the first pilot to perform, though in the USA others challenge the claim. A full account and pictures may be found in the 'Aeroplane' of 11.7.28.
An earlier German photo, of Raab-Katzenstein D-1212 on page 84/30 is now correctly identified as a Kl Ic Schwalbe (not RK IIe). Gerhardt Fieseler obtained D-1212 in 2.28 and an item in "Airways" magazine of 7.28 stated that he intended to fly it at Blackpool on 6/7.7.28. He sold it 9.29 and it was destroyed in 11.31.
