f/jjGHf) silhouettes of each aeroplane as they will be seen when looking up from below to the machine in flight. A little study of these silhouettes should enable anybody with good eyesight to almost unhesitatingly name each machine as it passes through the air. It may be possible that at the last moment either pilots or individual machines may be changed for special reasons, but it may be taken that, speaking generally, the whole of the pilots and machines are complete as given in this issue of FLIGHT. We also give a reduced facsimile of the route map for the Aerial Derby as used by the various pilots. This shows them exactly where they are with the various recognisable spots below, and in the original full-sized map, which they unroll as they proceed, rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, woods and parks are variously coloured so as to SEPTEMBER 20, 1913. make them instantly recognisable. This reduced map should also be of assistance to our readers by enabling them to get a fair idea in their own district of the range over which the aviators will be most clearly visible, during their flying from turning point to turning point. Glancing at the list of entries, it will be seen that the machines are very well matched, there being several of the same make and horse-power. For instance, there are two 80 h. p. Bleriot mono planes, two 80 h.p. Morane-Saulnier monoplanes, whilst the no h.p. Deperdussin and the 45 h.p. Caudron monoplanes are expected to vie with each other so far as speed is concerned. It will be remembered that the little Caudron monoplane took part in the last Aerial Derby, developing a remarkable turn of speed, and only justfailing to reach home—probably first—owing toshortage of petrol.
