JUNE 3, 1920 MODEL AEROPLANES NOTE.—All communications should be addressed to the Model Editor Some Paveley Products THE photographs here given have been supplied by Mr.Paveley, of the D.A.P. MODEL AEROPLANE and ENGINEERINGCo., 185, Replingham Road, Southfields, London, S.W. 18. One of the photos shows the scale Handley Page, with a spanof 2o| in. ; the colour and markings are also true to the prototype. The D.A.P. Co., by the way, are prepared tomake scale models of any pattern machine, where particulars are available. Their list shows a variety of modern types atprices which are, we think, quite nominal. Other photos show the D.A.P. airscrews, a tractor hydro monoplane, andanother of their scale products. Mr. Paveley has promised us some photos and particularsof his compressed-air models and plants (of which Messrs. Gamage have the sole rights), which we shall be glad topublish. He will be remembered as one of those keen aero- by publicity If we don't get reports, obviously we can'tpublish them, and just now, when the movement needs a stimulus, it is particularly desirable that results, reports andfixtures be sent to us. Will club secretaries please let us have these regularly and not spasmodically ? We are at thepresent moment in communication with the R.Ae.C. regarding the revival-of the K.M.A.A., and the correspondence will bepublished in due course. Meanwhile I should be glad if readers will acquaint me with their views on the matter, so that I canapproach them with something tangible. One is at a loss to account for this apparent lethargy. We are in a position to know that there is plenty doing inthe model world, and we shall be glad to have photos., draw- ings (pencil ones will do), and any particulars of models.And (lest we forget) what about those club histories ? Let us know how they are progressing. Some Productions of the D.A.P. Model Aeroplane and Engineering Co. modellists of pre-War times, with many good preformances by excellently designed machines, and now that he has turned to the commercial side of the subject, one feels sure that his business will be imbued with the same enthusiasm and soundness of design which actuated him in the old days. More power to his elbow ! Model ClubsWE understood a short time ago that many of tine model clubs were in process of re-formation. We have as yet heardvery little from them. It seems singular, but they apparently prefer " to blush unseen " and obscure themselves from theachievements and progress of each other. We have nothing to say for the self-advertising quack, but we do say that itis something akin to foolishness not to let each club know what the other is doing. This result is only to be achieved A Club for Barnet MR. DOUGLAS C. G. PLANK is endeavouring to form a modelaeroplane club for Barnet and district, and he would be pleased to hear from anyone living in the district who wouldassist the movement. Mr. Plank's address is " The Firs," 81, Sebright Road, High Barnet, Herts. i•'-. The Handley Page Club . •' ^ FROM Mr. A. Bertram Hudson, the Hon. Sec, comes a bookof rules of the Handley Page Aero Model Club, the member- ship of which is not restricted to employes of the firm. Theclub is run on very progressive lines, and any aero-modellest in the Cricklewood and Hendon districts who is interestedcan obtain further particulars from Mr. Hudson, c/o Handley Page Athletic and Social Club, Cricklewood, N.W. 2. Sir Reginald H. Brade Joins Austins _ • ^ _ _BY the joining up of Sir Reginald H. Brade, OX.J5., late Secretary to the War Office and Army Council through-out the War, with the Directorate of The. Austin Motor Co., Ltd., a great strengthening of this huge undertaking isassured. Sir Herbert Austin, the Chairman of the Company, should find a valuable colleague in Sir Reginald, to help himin the task of running this stupendous business.
