The Heinkel He.51 "... reminded one of the old 1917 Albatros D.V. of the war, cleaned up, modernised, infinitely more powerful and faster." The civilian markings of German military aircraft are in some cases being discontinued.

M.2X Hawk Trainer являлся самолетом первоначального обучения, после его освоения курсанты переходили на Miles M. 14 Magister. Hawk Trainer в больших количествах использовали британские ВВС. Самолет на фотографии был построен в 1936 году, а в 1940 году эти машины начали снимать с эксплуатации.
For modern instruction: The Miles Hawk Trainer, a machine which is designed primarily for the training of Service pilots in modern technique.

MAGISTER ARTIUM: Mr. F. G. Miles, past-master of the art of aircraft demonstration, reveals the qualities of the Miles Magister trainer (D.H. Gipsy Major) at a "family gathering" of Phillips and Powis employees last week when the prototype was christened with due ceremony by Mrs. Miles. The Magister is basically similar to the Hawk Trainer, but has been revised in detail. Note, for example, the new undercarriage and the tail wheel.

FOR RAPID RAIDS: The Hawker light bomber with 1,000 h.p. - plus Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. There is a marked resemblance to the Hurricane. Points to note are the "belly" for the bombs and the D.H. v.p. airscrew.

THE MERLIN'S PERCH: A close-up of the installation of the ethylene-glycol-cooled Rolls-Royce Merlin in the Hawker light bomber, revealing also the radiator intake and outlet, bomb traps and details of the Dowty retractable undercarriage with its toed-out Dunlop wheels. It will be noted that the new Rolls-Royce exhaust system, which does a certain amount of flame damping and silencing, is fitted. This offers considerably less resistance than the "ramshorns" used on several Kestrel-engined service types.

The D.H. "Hornet Moth" Seaplane (130 h.p. D.H. "Gipsy-Major" engine).
As might be expected, the Hornet Moth has an excellent performance as a seaplane. With two occupants and more than 100 lb. of luggage, the machine has a range of 316 miles while cruising at 95 m.p.h. Tests on a Canadian lake, lying some 1,500 ft. above sea level, showed that the Hornet was off a glassy surf ace after a 30-second run.

AS IT WAS: The Dutch "safety-first" machine which was crashed while being demonstrated last week at Gravesend, preparatory to its serious introduction into this country. The Scheldemusch (Scheldt Sparrow), as it is called, is a single-seater cabin pusher which, with a 40 h.p. Praga B engine, has a maximum of 78 m.p.h. It has a steerable nose wheel and the undercarriage is arranged so that the tail cannot be depressed until full flying speed is reached. Either a "flown-in" or normal landing can be made, and slots, with differential ailerons, look after stalled safety in the air.

PRIVATE AMPHIBIAN: After one has learnt to hold off, while landing, at about twice the height of a normal undercarriage, this Edo amphibian gear - shown fitted to a Waco - should have definite advantages. The tail of each float is hinged and sprung to take tail-down landing stresses and the whole gear weighs 175 lb more than the standard float arrangement.

Mr. Philip Wills, holder of the British distance record, and the Abbott-Baynes Scud II, holder of the British height record (piloted by Flt. Lt. Buxton). Scud II is not a high-performance machine, but for height records this is not so important as strong construction and a very high degree of skill in the pilot.

A Rhonadler at Dunstable: In spite of the absence of fixed tail-plane, the very small fixed fin and the highly tapered wing, this machine is remarkably stable. It is easy to fly safely but very difficult to fly well enough to achieve the performance of which it is capable.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Schleicher Rhonadler - ГерманияGermany - 1932

It is difficult to imagine anything "cleaner" than the Rhonadler. It is so clean, in fact, that a highly varnished finish is well worth while - and for competition flying it is wax-polished all over.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Schleicher Rhonadler - ГерманияGermany - 1932

Launching Hjordis I: Although the span is 50 ft., the chord is very narrow, and the wing loading is unusually high for sailplanes. On this machine Mr. Wills broke the British distance record by flying from Dunstable to Lowestoft, 105 miles.

Hjordis I over Sutton Bank. The first really high-performance sailplane designed and built in England (by Slingsby Sailplanes of Kirby Moorside). Stability has been to some extent sacrificed to performance. Controls are very effective, but have no "feel," and Hjordis gathers speed very rapidly indeed if the nose is allowed to fall by 2 or 3 degrees.

These two sketches illustrate the ingenious "turntable" wing-folding system of the Carden-Baynes Bee.

Самолёты на фотографии: Aircrafts on the photo: Carden-Baynes Bee - ВеликобританияUnited Kingdom - 1937

The Carden-Baynes Bee is of interest not only because of its unusual layout but because it incorporates a number of unusual structural features, particularly, as visible in this sketch, in the wing. Petrol is carried in leading edge tanks. The accessibility of the cabin is particularly commendable: the doors are large and the fuselage low.
