IMPERIAL AIRWAYS' NEW AIR LINER: On Tuesday, October 27, the Vickers "Vanguard," fitted with two Rolls-Royce "Condor" engines of 650 h.p. each, took up a party at the Croydon Aerodrome, when a complete luncheon was served on board. Very bumpy weather somewhat interfered with the enjoyment of the lunch. The machine was piloted by Major H. G. Brackley, Air Superintendent of Imperial Airways, and the Director of Civil Aviation, Air Vice-Marshal Sir Sefton Brancker, acted as "spare pilot." The machine has seating accommodation for twenty passengers, and has a top speed of 112 m.p.h. Our photograph shows (1), front view of the machine; (2), a group of distinguished passengers, including, from left to right, Capt. Acland, Major Mayo, Air Vice-Marshal Sir Sefton Brancker, Major Brackley, and Squadron-Leader Payn. (3), View of the machine in flight, and (4), Side view.

THE SCHNEIDER CUP RACE: This official photograph of the Supermarine-Napier S.4 admirably shows the very "clean" lines, and it is indeed difficult to see where any head resistance could have been saved. This machine, before going to the United States, established a new world's speed record for seaplanes by flying at an average speed of 226-752 m.p.h.Самолёты на фотографии: Supermarine S.4 - Великобритания - 1925

THE BRITISH SCHNEIDER CUP CHALLENGERS: This front view give an excellent idea of the manner in which head resistance has been cut down to a minimum. It was on the Supermarine-Napier S.4 that Capt. Biard established a new world's record for seaplanes by flying at an average speed of 226 752 m.p.h.

THE CIERVA "AUTOGIRO": These three views show admirably the action of the four-bladed lifting screw or windmill. In the lower view the machine is at rest on the ground, and the wings are drooping slightly.Above, the windmill has been started by means of a cable and has acquired a certain amount of speed, the the machine having just started its run. In the top photograph, the machine is seen shortly before "unsticking," the lifting planes having started to rise under the action of the lift. This is particularly noticeable in the wing pointing forward in the first photograph.
