SEPTEMBER II, 1919 SIBE-WINBS K si s> Si Si The Napier Works at Acton, snapped from Capt. Gather- good's Airco (De H. 9), with 450 h.p. Napier Aero Engine. Si & Si Si Si Si Si Si Si Si To their range of mascots Messrs. S. Smith and Sons (M.A.), Ltd., have recently added one of "Old Bill," Capt. Bairnsfather's embodiment of that cheery, never-say-die spirit of the British fighting man. Strongly made, beauti fully chased and finished old bronze. " Old Bill " can be had at £3 35. a time. Each mascot bears the signature of Capt. Bruce Baimsfather. Orders can be sent to 179-185, Gt. Portland Street, or any one of the Smiths' depots. AN opportunity for aircraft firms and others to replenish their stock of fittings, etc., occurs in connection with the sale of the assets of the Motor and Aircraft Supplies Co., Ltd. As set forth in an announcement elsewhere, the liquidators are desirous of disposing of all the remaining stock, both at Long Acre and also at the works, as quickly as possible. It is a comprehensive stock, and apart from the supplies which are of interest to the aircraft industry, there are many items which could be utilised in other trades. With the past reputation of Ascol House, there should be no doubt as to the workmanship and quality of the goods, most of which were, prior to the Armistice, passed by the A.I.D. to meet the ready demand of contractors all over the country, who were requiring deliveries, ex stock, without going through full formalities and routine. Full particulars of the stock can be obtained from 125, Long Acre. WE have received from Mr. Charles Longley, M.P.S., chemist, formerly Senior Dispenser at the Apothecaries' Hall, Blackfriars, E.C., a tin of menthol and cinnamon lung and throat pastilles for motorists, airmen, industrial workers, and all engaged in dust-laden air, due to road transport or mechanical operations, atmospheres charged with obnoxious gases, or rapid changes of temperature. We under stand that Mr. Longley, whose headquarters are at 52, Ivanhoe Road, London, S.E.5, is the original maker of menthol and cinnamon pastilles, and the price is is. per box. OF great interest as proving the period of serviceability of a properly-constructed aeroplane, and incidentally one of the most noteworthy tributes to the unrivalled position of British design and construction, has been brought to the notice of visitors to the Amsterdam Aeronautical Exhibition. In a near- by aerodrome is a " Bristol " fighter, delivered by the constructors in September, 1917. It was imme diately put into commission under active service conditions, and after doing considerable work in this direction, un fortunately landed in Holland. The pilot was naturally in terned, and the machine was soon after bought by the Dutch Government. Though it has been continuously flown by Dutch officers it has never been repaired or renovated in any way, and every unit is exactly as when it left the " Bristol works. Even the " Cellon " dope has never been renewed. The machine is still in service, and in great favour with the Dutch pilots. AT THE AMSTERDAM EXHIBITION. Two views of the stand of the British Emaillite Co., and the General Aeronautical Co., on which a comprehensive range of products of these firms are displayed. 1237
