r^jCHTj Ah, bit of card or paper which happens to be handy, well, boys will be boys. A correspondent in Sepang. Seliigor, Malay Peninsula, sends along the accompanying photographs of the 100 n.p. Anzani-engined biplane built by Messrs. Wong and Lawford. This machine was taken out to the btmns JANUARY 13, 1916. bad landing was made with the result shown in one of the photos8 Mr. Wong fortunately was not hurt so that one may perhaps take it for granted that she will be re paired, or! if this be impossible, a new machine con structed In all probability the eng.ne is not seriously damaged, so that even at worst the construction of a new 'bus should not mean a very large outlay of capital. It AN UNFORTUNATE EXHIBITION FLIGHT BY MR. WONG'S BIPLANE AT SELANGOR.-From left to fight the pictures show the start, in full flight, and the smash. Settlements during 1914. Mr. Wong, who may be remembered as the constructor of the Tong Mei biplane, being in charge. Through his connections out there Wong hoped to start an interest in aviation, and took out the machine in order to give practical demonstrations. For quite a long time nothing had been heard of him until the arrival of this letter, which states that several good flights were put up during early morning hours, but that later on during a demonstration flight a is to be hoped that Mr. Wong will succeed in carrying out the work he has started and thus help to spread the interest in aviation. As a matter of fact this machine is not the first to fly in the Malay States, an Antoinette monoplane, piloted, I believe, by the Dutch aviator Kuller, having made flights out there as early as the beginning of 1911. Another of our photos, shows one of these. The old graceful Antoinette does not look at all out of place in its unusual surroundings.
