FOR YUGO-SLAVIA: Despite the enormous amount of work created by the expansion of our own Air Force the industry is still able to cope with orders from abroad. This aerial photograph shows one of a batch of the latest Hawker Furies for Yugo-Slavia. Fitted with a Rolls-Royce Kestrel XVI and Dowty cantilever undercarriage it has a speed of 250 m.p.h.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Hawker Fury - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1931

The chief interest of this remarkable aerial photograph is its testimony to the skill of the Hawker test pilots who enabled Flight's chief photographer to secure them. On the photo, the two machines dived in intimate company at 280 m.p.h.

The chief interest of this remarkable aerial photograph is its testimony to the skill of the Hawker test pilots who enabled Flight's chief photographer to secure them. On the photo, Mr. J. S. Hindmarsh had one of the Yugo-Slavia Hawker Furies (Kestrel XVI) in a vertical turn, while Flt. Lt. P. W. S. Bulman, flying the photographer in the Hart "-MR," broke away sharply to clear as the other side-slipped at the crucial instant.

THE INSCRUTABLE SMILE: Several Avro 626s with Siddeley Cheetah engines have been supplied to the Egyptian Army Air Force, which has now ordered some Hawker Audaxes, as seen here, with Panther engines, presumably because of its experience with Siddeley products and not out of national gratitude for the well-known trade mark. Note how the Vickers gun mounting has been transferred outboard and the cowling grooved to clear the engine.

A WALRUS HOOKED: Hoisting a Supermarine Walrus on board H.M.S. Devonshire in the Mediterranean. This ubiquitous amphibian - the engine of which is a Bristol Pegasus - can accommodate itself to a catapult, to an aircraft carrier's deck, to the surface of the sea, or to dry land. Incidentally, there is no truth in rumours - which this rather sinister picture might suggest - of new punishments for Fleet Air Arm pilots.

FOR DIVERS DUTIES: A versatile new Blackburn aeroplane ordered in quantity for the Fleet Air Arm: the fleet-fighter dive-bomber monoplane with 825/840 h.p. Bristol Mercury engine. The arrangement of the tail unit is perhaps the most striking feature of this noteworthy machine, which is seen here in a not-quite-finished state.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Blackburn Skua / B-24 - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1937

HIGH-DIVER: The new Blackburn dive-bomber fleet-fighter, the tail of which should be compared with that of the Vultee; the relative positions of rudder and tailplane are transposed.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Blackburn Skua / B-24 - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1937

NAUTICAL NEOPHYTE: The first monoplane to be ordered for F.A.A. equipment, the new Blackburn incorporates such modern aids to pertormance as flaps, D.H. v.p. airscrew and retractable undercarriage. The engine in the prototype is an 825/840 h.p. Bristol Mercury which may be replaced by a sleeve-valve Perseus.

After many years of development work the Hafner "direct flight" gyroplane is now going through its final flight tests - and coming well up to expectations. On the right, the machine is shown taking off from the centre of the compass base at Hanworth after a run of a yard or so in an 8-10 m.p.h. wind. The picture on the left gives an idea of the compactness of the special rotor head, while in the centre is the designer himself.

On the left is the rotor hub with one of the three yokes and the hinge bolts which take their bearings on the inner and outer flanges of the hub. On the right are the three interlapping yokes in place on the hub. The larger arm of each yoke is slotted to accommodate the hinge pin of the shorter arm of the adjacent yoke and vice versa.

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC: Some very unusual features can be seen in this head-on view of the Diesel-engined Blohm and Voss Hamburger 139 float-plane which will be used over the North Atlantic. It has been designed for catapult use and has a range of more than 3,000 miles. The maximum speed is 185 m.p.h.

DOUBLY DEADLY: The two-seater fighter is a type well represented in the world's air forces. Holland's newest is the Koolhoven F.K. 52 with one of our own Bristol Mercurys of 830 h.p. maximum. The cantilever undercarriage is reminiscent of the Gladiator. At 14,400 feet the new Koolhoven does about 230 m.p.h.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Koolhoven FK-52 - НидерландыNetherlands - 1937

An interesting cockpit enclosure has been evolved, the rear portion housing a special Koolhoven machine gun mounting.

IN CRUISING TRIM: At 2,100 r.p.m. the Miles Whitney Straight cruises at 130 m.p.h. The degree of vertical movement in the undercarriage can be gathered from the amount of the unpainted portion visible in the fairing on the port leg.

An interesting feature of the Straight production line at Reading: At one period during erection the machines are laid out on their sides so that undercarriage, flap gear and other details may be more easily installed.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Miles M.11 Whitney Straight - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1936

The line drawing gives a good impression of the "operational" layout of the machine. The flap operating gear is, of course, normally covered and the large area above provides accommodation for a maximum of 160 lb. of luggage and incidentals.

WHY NOT? The seaplane has a certain very definite popularity in the States, and such small fry as the Aeronca have been successfully used with floats. When is someone going to start a seaplane or amphibian club over here? Even at high dual and solo rates there should be some very fair support if the club is based on a pleasant part of the coast.
