Birmingham Aero Club (165, HAMPTON STREET). Harris, "Hirondelleplane No. 3"; 2nd, Mr. Coomber, triplane; MR. C. GRAHAME-WHITE has consented to back the efforts of 3rd, Mr. Diplock, Valkyrie. The up-turned tips of the main plane the club in rousing up more interest in aviation in the Midlands by opening the Second Annual Exhibition at Bournville on April 17th. His appearance in Birmingham will give the citizens their first opportunity of welcoming him and showing their appreciation of his ability and pluck. For the benefit of those interested in aviation, and who reside in districts where there are no clubs, this club has now made arrangements to admit associate members at the small annual subscription of hali-a-crown. The principal advantage of this section will be that they will be assisted by correspondence, &c. Those interested in aviation in the district should realise that by coming into the club now they will have every opportunity of learning gliding and flying this summer. Good money prizes are to be competed for at the annual exhibition in the spring, and all these competitions are free to members. Moreover those who put off joining until the next quarter when the club has moved into their new premises and erected the hangar for the aeroplane and gliders may now be warned that it is the intention of the committee to very considerably raise the nomination fee for new members. Conisborough and District Model Ae. Soc. (18, CHURCH ST.). THE March competition has been won by F. J. Wright with a flight of 353 ft. On Saturday last flying took place for the April competition, the longest flight being 279 ft. by R. J. Troughton. A model aviation meeting will be held on Easter Monday, and the events are for longest flight open to all, with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes, and also longest flight, members only, open to those who so far have not won any prizes. Flying on Easter Monday will not count for the April competition. Clapham Aero Club. THE Clapham Aero Club held a highly successful competition on Clapham Common last Saturday afternoon, the prize being awarded to the competitor whose model exhibited the best all-round qualities. Marks were given for duration, distance, steering, and stability. The competition resulted as follows:—1st, Reginald gave the " Hirondelleplane" great stability, whilst it was swift, and the landings after several long flights were very gentle, considering this machine weighed 8 ozs. The flight of the triplane, a beautifully finished model, was exceedingly fast and steady, and after accomplishing the distance contest, it glided gracefully to earth. Mr. Diplock had the misfortune to break the elevator of his nicely made Valkyrie ; this, however, was replaced by the main plane of another model which had come to grief early in the afternoon. Notwithstanding this improvised but necessary repair, the Valkyrie proved itself a wonderfully steady and speedy flyer. Any informa tion respecting the club can be had on application to the hon. sec, Mr. Dollittle, 140, Manor Street, or to the assistant sec., Reginald Harris, 34, North Side, Clapham Common, S.W. East London Aero Club (ALEXANDRA HOTEL, STRATFORD, E.). THE secretary wishes to impress upon readers in this district the advantage to be derived by joining this club. Excellent facilities are offered—workshop, library, and the lectures, while the fees are exceedingly moderate. Full particulars and prospectus will be sent to anyone interested upon application to the hon. sec, Mr. E. Sissons, at above address. Scottish Ae.S. Model Aero Club (144, BERKELEY ST., GLASGOW). A DISTANCE competition under the auspices of the above club was held on Saturday last at Victoria Park, Whiteinch. A good turn out of members entered for the medal, which was won by Mr. F. S. Gordon with a flight of 265 ft., Mr. J as. Donaldson coming next with 230 ft. Some fine flights were witnessed with both models, and when they are tuned up to fly straight they should easily do the same figures in yards instead of feet. With the advent of better weather the interest in flying has increased considerably, and another competition for duration will be held on Saturday, April 15th. A silver cup will be put up for competition for the model that remains the longest time in the air. The meeting will take place at Ibrox, at 3.30, on the above date, and is open to all. Entry fee 6<f. All particulars from Mr. R. M. Glenesk, 200, North Street, Glasgow. 315
