LINING UP FOR THE LIGHT 'PLANE HOLIDAY HANDICAP: the line-up for the second heat.
"STOP THAT LEAK": Different methods of closing the gap between rear spar and aileron in some of the Lympne machines. 1. In the Beardmore "Wee Bee" an aluminium strip is used with edges turned over for stiffening purposes. The front edge is covered by fabric strip doped on. 2. In the A.N.E.C, an aluminum strip is used, stiffened by fore-and-aft corrugations, while in 3, the Parnall "Pixie II" three-ply is employed, and in 4, the Cranwell monoplane, rubber strip. This was later removed as it tended to cause the controls to work stiffly.
A FOKKER RECORD-BREAKER: The Fokker D.XIII has recently established four new world's records. Carrying a useful load of 500 kgs. (1,100 lbs.) the machine attained an average speed of 165-7 m.p.h., while with the same load and over a distance of 200 km., the average speed was 164-7 m.p.h. These speeds are stated also to be world's records for a machine carrying 250 kg. (550 lbs.) useful load. The pilot was Engineer Grase (inset), the Fokker chief test pilot. Great Britain's share in the records was provided by the Napier "Lion" engine, and it is interesting to note that both machine and engine were standard productions in every way.
HEADING FOR POSTLING: The Bristol "Bloodhound," and the Sopwith "Gnu," approaching the aerodrome turning point.

THE HAWKER "HEDGEHOG": A Fleet Reconnaissance three seater, with Bristol "Jupiter" Engine. Three-quarter front view.
THE HAWKER "HEDGEHOG": Three-quarter rear view. Note the petrol gravity tank in the top centre-section. The wings are designed to fold.
THE HAWKER "HEDGEHOG": A three-seater Fleet Reconnaissance machine with Bristol "Jupiter" engine. By the courtesy of the H. G. Hawker Engineering Company our photographer was able recently to secure these photographs of the machine in flight. The photograph of Flight-Lieut. Bulman, who is now chief test pilot to this firm, gives a good idea of the size of the "Hedgehog."

The Lincoln Standard Light 'Plane: A smart little single-seater fitted with a 30 h.p. 3-cyl. air-cooled Anzani engine.
Two views of the S.H.B.P. light monoplane 40 h.p. Salmson engine. This machine was built by M. Simonet and some friends, and was to have been piloted by him. On the right the machine on the ground. The aluminium cowling over the front portion of the fuselage has been removed, and is seen resting on top, just in front of the tail. On the left, the machine starting for a flight, piloted by Van Opstal.

OFF FOR A GLIDE: The Abrial "Vautour" ready to start, and, inset, in flight.
The Landes-Breguet Monoplane Glider has wings similar to those of a gull, and should be very efficient aerodynamically, but the wing construction was too flexible, and no prolonged flights were made.
