MAY I, 1919 SIDE-WINDS Now that civil aviation is definitely going to start, an opportunity occurs for those who wish to replenish their stock of spare parts on advantageous terms. The Aircraft Equipment Section of the M.O.M. Surplus Property Disposal Board has on hand a large assortment of material, components and fittings. It is impossible to give a complete list, but the following are a few of the items which are avail able in varying quantities : small bolts and nuts, strainers for brake controls, wire cables, wood screws, brass and iron, studs (various sizes), brass union connections, relief valves, petrol filters, copper and steel tubing, washers, rivets in all metals, joint pins, fork joints (steel), petrol tank fittings, Bowden controls and wires, brass cocks, hose pipe connections and clips, gimp pins for trimmings, accumulators, aluminium, duralumin and brass headings, sheets, angles, etc., celluloid sheets for windows, acetylene lamps, electric switches, speaking tubes. Enquiries for any of these items should be sent to Room 544, Aircraft Equipment Section, Surplus Government Property Disposal Board, 544, Alexandra House, Kings- way, W.C. 2. IT should be noted that the Sopwith Aviation Co., Ltd., has now enlarged its style to the Sopwith Aviation and Engineering Co., Ltd. MESSRS.

Walford in the United Kingdom, France, Canada, United States, Australia, India, Africa, Italy, Japan, China, South America, etc., will be at the service of the public in com bination with their shipping and forwarding offices. All enquiries are promised prompt attention. MESSRS. HANDLEY PAGE, LTD., have also appointed Messrs. Lavington Bros., Ltd., of 68 and 69, Old Bailey, to act as official agents for the freight and passenger aerial services to all parts of the world. Whilst inland services will be started in the near future, it is hoped that the services to centres abroad will be inaugurated within a short time of the signing of Peace. WITH characteristic enterprise, Mr. Albert de Courville and Mr. Harry Tate have arranged with Mr. Handley Page for a Handley Page aeroplane in which Mr. Tate and his company will tour the world. It is intended that the company consist of eight people, and they will carry with them all the necessary scenery and equipment for Motoring and other sketches. A start will probably be made from Cricklewood in September, and if the tour proceeds according .to plan, the first halt will be at Gibraltar, where two evening performances are to be given. At Malta there will be a halt for two days, and then the machine will fly to Colombo, where the company will remain for a week before the journey to India is resumed. All the principal centres of India will be visited by air. China and Japan will be next on the list, and, finally, the chief cities of the United States, beginning with San Francisco and ending with New York, will be included. B m Meteorologia Aeronautica.
