Sec. relin- MASCOTS AND SOUVENIR MODELS THERE are, no doubt, many pilots and others connected with aviation who have some sentimental attachment to a particular make of aeroplane—associations arising from active service during the War or a connection with a firm responsible for the origin of a machine. In such cases, mementoes of the machine are always welcome, and up to now these have generally taken the form of sundry photographs, cuttings from FLIGHT, and perhaps some component of the machine itself—salved from the crash ! The ideal memento, however, is undoubtedly a scale model of the complete machine, and types ready for delivery :—Avro 504 K., B.E. 2 c and e, Black burn Kangaroo, Bristol (Scout, Fighter and Mono), D.H. (2, 4, s, 9 and 9A), F.E. 2 band d, Handley Page 0.400, Henry and Maurice Farman, Martinsyde F 3, Nieuport 27, R.E. 7 and 8, S.P.A.D., Short 84, S.E. 5 and 5A, Sopwith (Pup, Camel, i£ Strutter, Triplane, Snipe, Dolphin), and Vickers Vimy. A model of any other type of machine can be made, however, provided drawings of the machine are obtainable. That the maker oi these models, Mr. Rogers, is thoroughly conversant with the design and construction of aircraft, is O OOOOO Six realistic scale models manufac tured by Messrs. Rogers Bros. These are, reading from left to right: Top,Sopwith Pup, Hand ley-Page 0.400, Sopwith Camel ; bottom, Air co D.H. 4, N.C. 4 flying boat, Short Seaplane O OOOOO O O O O O O O o o o o o o o o o o o thanks to Messrs. Rogers Bros, and their "Tabloid" Aero and Engineering Works at Farnham Royal, Slough, it is now possible to obtain small, but wonderfully realistic scale models of practically every well-known type of aircraft. These models are made of metal, heavily silver-plated, and are exceptionally strong. Mounted on suitable stands, they form handsome ornaments, or useful paper-weights, ash trays, etc., whilst they can also be used as mascots on aeroplanes. boats or cars. The size of these models varies from 5J ins. to 12 ins.—the scales ranging from £th to J-in. The following are some of the <$> <S> Aerial Services from Scarborough ARRANGEMENTS have been made by the North Sea Aerial Navigation Co., Ltd., to run services between Scar borough and Middlesborough, Stockton and Darlington, and later services will be organised between Scarborough and Hull and Harrogate. The single fares range from ,£5 to £7 10s. Three-seater machines are being used, and it is anticipated that the trips will prove popular as all the journeys can be completed within the hour. The Swedish Air Smuggling Case THE hearing of the case against Dr. Stockhausen and the Countess Solms-Wildenfels, who are charged with smuggling valuables into Sweden by aeroplane, has been begun at Trelleborg. For the accused it was explained that the Prince of Wied had a permit to export his fortune to Switzerland, but considered Sweden a safer place owing borne out by the fact that he has had over six years' experi ence in the construction of aircraft, having from time to time been associated with such firms as Messrs, Bleriot, Fairey, Martinsyde, Sopwith and Whitehead. Some idea as to the excellent workmanship of these models may be gathered from the accompanying illustration, showing six well-known types, although, to do them justice, they should be seen in actual being to be fully appreciated. Messrs. Rogers Bros, will be pleased upon application to supply any further particulars of these and other models to any of our readers who may be interested. to numerous German railway robberies, he decided to carry his valuables by aeroplane. The charge of attempting to deceive the Customs was ludicrous as the duty only amounted to 265 kr. (^14 14s.). The evidence showed that Dr. Stock hausen and the Countess of Solms-Wildenfels tried to escape, and that they denied before the police that they had any valuables in their knapsacks. Dick Turpin Up to Date AMONG the many curious stories coming from Germany now is one to the effect that after the chairman of the Berlin Insurance Co., had been decoyed to a boarding-house at Carlsbad and made to sign a cheque for a million and a half marks, the robbers used an aeroplane to get to Berlin in quick time to cash the cheque. They left their victim locked in his room, and when after some hours he got on to the window-sill and shouted for help, he was taken for a lunatic. 1206
