A VICKERS VIKING IN JAVA: Gradually the uses of amphibian seaplanes increase as the advantages are realised. Recently Vickers sent one of the Vikings (Napier Lion) out to Java, where it has caused the greatest interest. Our photograph shows the machine surrounded by the mechanics who erected it. Needless to say, the civil population took the opportunity afforded of inspecting one of the latest types of aircraft, and, the admiration was general.

London-Moscow in an Avro Baby, 35 h.p. Green engine: A few weeks ago a very remarkable flight was made from London to Moscow in an Avro Baby. The pilot, a Russian named Gwailer, is seen in the photograph, which was taken just before the start of the flight. The machine was held up for some considerable time in Germany, the strange combination of a Russian pilot in a British machine, alighting on German soil, leading to complications. However, all difficulties were smoothed out ultimately, and the machine reached its goal in safety.

THE BRITISH SEAPLANE VICTORY: Matched against the fastest seaplanes in the world, the Supermarine, with Napier Lion engine, piloted by Mr. Biard, has beaten its competitors, and won this year's Schneider race at Naples. As a result, next year's race will be flown in this country. Our photographs show the hull of the Supermarine flying boat and the Napier Lion ready for installation at the Supermarine works, Southampton, and, on the left, the complete machine on the slipways. Inset is a portrait of Mr. Biard, chief pilot of the Supermarine Aviation Works.

FOR THE SCHNEIDER CUP: Swinging the Napier Lion-engined Supermarine Flying Boat on to the S.S. "Philomel" at Southampton for transhipment to Naples. In the group are Capt. H. J . Field, Mr. Scott-Paine and Mr. Braid. The date for the Schneider Cup was advanced by two weeks, and it was only by the sportsmanlike action of the General Steam Navigation Company in diverting the "Philomel'' to Southampton from her normal course to Naples that the Supermarine boat will be enabled to make a bid at Naples to bring back the Cup to England,

FROM THE FRENCH GLIDING COMPETITION AT CLERMONT-FERRAND: Bossoutrot soaring out over the Camp Mouillard on the Farman Sport biplane. This machine has to its credit the greatest aggregate duration of the meeting.

Гигантский для своего времени экспериментальный ночной бомбардировщик фирмы "Farman" обладал мощным шасси и развитой системой стоек. Военных устраивала большая масса полезной нагрузки, но самолет был слишком большим и сложным - в гражданском секторе рынка заказчиков на него не нашлось.
THE FARMAN FOUR-ENGINED NIGHT BOMBER: At the last Paris Aero Show one of the machines exhibited on the Farman stand was a large four-engined night bomber, the B.N.4, with four Lorraine-Dietrich engines of 400 h.p. each. This machine has now been flown, M. Bossoutrot taking it into the air on August 1, before the "Section Technique." The B.N.4 weighs, with full load, about ten tons, and carries fuel for a flight of seven hours' duration. In addition it is armed with machine guns for repulsing attack, and carries a long-range wireless outfit, so as to be always in communication with its base.

All that happened: When, on alighting after winning the Derby, Mr. James was in danger of running into a crowd of people (who ought not to have been there), he effected a masterly "save" by swerving to the right. His left tyre, as a consequence, came off, but otherwise nothing happened.
