The interior of the Handley Page W.8 as fitted up for ballast tanks when up for record
"Vickers-Vimys" for China: Erecting the cabins: A large batch of Vickers-Vimy-Commercials are now being completed at Weybridge for the Chinese Government. Our photograph gives a good idea of the absence of cross bracing inside the cabins of these machines
The silver model, to scale, of the Vickers-Vimy-Rolls aeroplane presented to Dr. Chalmers Mitchell by The Times to commemorate the first attempt to fly from Cairo to the Cape. Four smaller models of the machine were presented to the pilots and mechanics, Capt. S. Cockerell, Capt. F. C. Broome, D.F.C., Sergt.-Major James Wyatt, and Mr. Claude Corby. All these beautiful models are the work of the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company of Regent Street
SUPERMARINES FOR NORWAY: Our photographs show two of the batch of Supermarine flying boats ordered by the Royal Norwegian Navy. The machine on the left is fitted as a three-seater with special dual control, and will be used as a school machine at the Norwegian naval seaplane base at Horten. The machine shown on the right is of the standard four-seater Channel type, which has proved so successful. Fitted with a Beardmore engine of 160 h.p. only, this machine gets off and alights well with four up, which is no mean performance. The inset shows one of the machines moored to a buoy after completing its trial flights. It is interesting to know that when a complete squadron of these boats has been delivered, they will be used on behalf of the Norwegian Government in conjunction with a private civil aviation enterprise to carry out passenger and mail service between Christiania and Christiansand. A number of officers of the Norwegian Naval Air Service have been given a course of instruction on the Supermarine flying boats. They are all experienced seaplane pilots, and are now fully qualified flying boat pilots

Three of the G.L. flying-boats of the French Naval Air Service which were starting for Bizerta. The upper photo shows No. 40, which was waterlogged, and was later broken up and taken away in bits by souvenir hunters, the engine being salved. The other two illustrations show Nos. 41 and 42, both of which started for Bizerta, No. 41, piloted by Bellot, being the only machine to make the double crossing
TEN PASSENGERS ON 320 HORSE-POWER: A Central Aircraft Co. cabin machine at Northolt. Our photographs show the machine in front, rear, and three-quarter rear views. The lower picture shows the cabin and one of the 160 h.p. Beardmore engines. In the top right-hand corner the machine is seen taking off with eight people and 400 lbs. of sand on board, piloted by Lieut. F. T. Courtney
