THE METAL VERSION OF THE WESTLAND "WIDGEON" LIGHT 'PLANE: This machine is now coming through the works at Yeovil, and the above sketches show some of the constructional features of the fuselage. The engine mounting (for an "in-line" engine) is a separate unit, and is of welded steel tube. The main fuselage is of square-section Duralumin tube. The lug at 4 is the attachment of the front struts of the float undercarriage. A new type of "split" land undercarriage is now fitted, and the telescopic leg is attached at 7. 9 is the wing-strut attachment, and the tension across bottom of fuselage is taken by tie rods. The general scheme of the rear portion of the fuselage is as shown in 10, and the method of attaching struts to longerons is as shown in 11.

A USEFUL PAIR: Miss Winifred Brown finds that her Armstrong-Siddeley Car makes a very convenient combination with her Avro "Avian" (Cirrus) light aeroplane. This Lancashire airwoman is as skilful a hockey player as she is motorist and air pilot, and in the North Country she is well known in hockey circles. Miss Brown qualified as a pilot with the Lancashire Aero Club, and has been a private owner for a considerable time.

THE NEW DE HAVILLAND "HAWK MOTH" CABIN MONOPLANE: These three views give a good idea of the general lines of the machine. A description and general arrangement drawings were published in our issue of February 7. The engine is an eight-cylinder Vee air-cooled, the de Havilland "Ghost." This machine has accommodation for pilot and three passengers. Note the very wide wheel track, which should prevent overturning on the ground in a strong side wind.

THE DE HAVILLAND "HAWK MOTH": Three-quarter rear view. Note that the wing does not extend across the top of the fuselage, and that the latter is formed as a skylight.

The Cabin accommodation of the new de Havilland "Hawk Moth." As the machine is a monoplane access to the cabin is very easy.

Visibility: This view of the de Havilland "Hawk Moth" shows Capt. de Havilland in the pilot's seat, and indicates how good is the view from there. Note also the wide-track undercarriage.

The Controls on the "Hawk Moth" are somewhat unusual. The "joystick" hinges some distance up, and the lower portion, with sprockets and chain, is enclosed in a casing.

THE DE HAVILLAND "HAWK MOTH": Welded tubular construction is employed in the tail (1), elevator (2), and fuselage rear portion (3). The latter, it should be noted, uses square-section longerons and round-section struts. The side panels are made up as units, and the top and bottom struts complete the structure (4 and 5). In the front portion square-section struts are used and bolted joints (6), the strut ends being reinforced by aluminium packing blocks shaped to reduce the section gradually by conical drilling (7). To relieve the pilot on long flights, the rudder bar can be locked in position, as shown in 8.

THF NEW DE HAVILLAND MONOPLANE: Some constructional details of the "Hawk Moth": the key diagramm in the upper left-hand corner indicates the location of the various details illustrated. The joint of the lower longeron to undercarriage and wing struts, &c, is shown in 1. The use of steel-tube longerons of square section should he noted. 2 shows the attachment of undercarriage leg and front wing strut. For folding the wing the L-shaped spring-loaded pin is withdrawn, and the wing strut is swung with its lower end over to the back strut where a fitting receives it. The meeting of lower longeron and engine mounting is illustrated in 3, while 4 shows attachment of bent axle and diagonal strut to lower longeron. Finally, the joint between rear wing strut and lower longeron is shown in 5.
