A PIPPIN: The Prototype Bristol Blenheim medium bomber with a pair of the latest Mercury engines, which give 840 h.p. at 14,000 ft. The Blenheim is a direct development of the cabin monoplane Britain First, built for Lord Rothermere and presented to the R.A.F. It is almost certainly the fastest twin-engined bomber in the world

LULL IN THE STORM: Varied fauna at the Bristol club's garden party last Saturday, which suffered severely from the weather. Seen here are one of the Club Swallows, the Bristol 143, an Autogiro, a Drone, and three Harts of No. 501 (City of Bristol) Squadron. The human element is mainly seeking solace in the clubhouse, which, with the Airwork hangar, can be seen in the background.

Mr. R. O. Shuttleworth, in the cockpit of his cross-Channel Bleriot, chats to Mr. A. E. Grimmer, who, in 1913, bought and flew the original from the remains of which this perfect replica was rebuilt.

The modified Hawk Speed Six (220 h.p. Gipsy Six R) to be flown by F/O. Clouston. Its maximum speed is about 200 m.p.h.

A SKY-SPLITTER: The new Seversky single-seater pursuit monoplane adopted as standard equipment by the U.S. Army Air Corps. Powered with a Pratt and Whitney Twin Wasp delivering something like 1,000 h.p. it seems, from all reports, to be quite a sound proposition but it is improbable that it reaches the standard of our new monoplane fighters either in performance or armament.

LONG-RANGE ARTILLERY: The Vickers Wellesley, thanks to the merits of geodetic construction, can destroy targets at an abnormal distance from its base.

GOSPORT CAMEO: A Blackburn Shark (Siddeley Tiger) and a Vickers Vildebeest (Bristol Pegasus) used for development work with torpedoes at Gosport. Both types (classed officially as torpedo bombers), although well established in service, are still in quantity production. Certain Vildebeests are receiving Perseus sleeve-valve engines.

LIMOUSINE TAXI: A pleasing camera study of the De Havilland Dragonfly lately supplied to Rhodesia and Nyassaland Airways. This model has proved so popular as to encourage the construction of a larger machine - the Dolphin - of similar layout with a pair of the new Series II Gipsy Six engines.

The Percival Vega Gull (D.H. Gipsy Six), which bids fair to emulate the memorable feats of the Gull. Note in this view the large spinner over the hub of the Ratier V.P. airscrew on the Vega used by Mrs. Markham (inset).

AIR FRANCE'S LATEST: The twenty-two seater Dewoitine 338 which will shortly be paying a visit to Croydon. This machine has been developed from the 333, three of which are being used on the Toulouse - Dakar section of the South Atlantic service. The extra drag of a wider fuselage has been compensated by the use of a retractable undercarriage and the top speed is only just short of 200 m.p.h. A fleet of these machines will be used on the London-Marseilles service pending the completion of the big Farmans, alter which they will go East.

PUSHING THE BOAT OUT: Mr. Hore-Belisha launched a new cruiser last week at Devonport, after arriving in a B.A. Swallow from Wilmington via an unrestricted area. The Swallow must have inspired a particular feeling of confidence, because it can be throttled back safely to round about the desired 30 m.p.h. Mr. Hore-Belisha intends to learn to fly himself.
