This view emphasises the cleanliness of the undercarriage, though many designers may not agree that wires in such a case produce less drag than a strut would.

THE SECOND "KENT": Number 2 of the three four-engined flying boats built by Short Bros, for Imperial Airways has now been launched, and was paraded at Rochester early this week. The first machine of the "Kent" class was, it may be remembered, christened "Scipio." This second machine is named "Sylvanus," and the third, which is all but finished, will be named "Satyrus." The registration letters assigned to the three machines are: G-ABFA, G-ABFB and G-ABFC respectively. In this picture "Sylvanus" is seen at its buoy, starting the Bristol "Jupiter" engines.

125 IN THE AIR: Among tho most unusual aeroplanes at the Paris Show last year was the Bleriot 125, a twin-fuselage, 2-engined monoplane, fitted with two 500-h.p. Hispano-Suiza engines in tandem. The machine carries 12 passengers, 1,200 lb. of luggage, and fuel for 6 hours at cruising speed. The wheels, of the Bleriot resilient type, are partly housed in the fuselage, and are fitted with Palmer brakes.

Except that it has a 75-h.p. engine, particulars of this machine are not yet available.
