LeavingRichmond at 10 a.m. the machines flew across to the Head- quarters in France of the Independent Air Force, the passageacross the Channel occupying 35 minutes. In the afternoon the return journey was made, and when nearing the Metro-polis the machines ran into a fog. Unable to see any land- marks, it is reported, the pilots " felt " their way towardsRichmond where they arrived safely at 4.40 p.m., the two machines landing within a few seconds of each other and about100 ft. apart. Germany Trying t6 SeU to Sweden INFORMATION to hand from Stockholm shows that theGerman Government are anxiously trying to sell a large number of aircraft to the Swedish Government, including new andsecond-hand airships and aeroplanes, at prices ranging from ^1,000 for monoplanes, to between ^1,500 and ^2,000for biplanes. The German Government guarantee that the machines are not included in the number which have to behanded over to the Allies. It is probable that some of these machines are those which the German authorities are boundto accept under outstandng contracts. HHHHHHHH ployed :—(Hon. Lieut.) J. B. Bottomley (Lieut., Wilts.

Aeroplane Wood from AustraliaFOR some years the attention of aeroplane builders has been turned towards the possibility of utilising Australianwoods for aircraft work, but hitherto it has been generally understood that they are not suitable. Now, apparently,the Air Ministry, in conjunction with the Commonwealth authorities are carrying out tests in Western Australia,with local timbers with a view to obtaining definite informa- tion as to whether such woods can be utilised by aircraftbuilders.
