Memorial Fund COLONEL BURCH, the Secretary of the Royal Air Force Memorial Fund Committee, informs us that a most acceptable donation of £1,910 has been made to the Funds through the Society of British Aircraft Constructors, as a subscription from various aircraft manufacturers. Certain other firms have sent direct subscriptions amounting to £111, so that in all aircraft firms have contributed a total of £2,021. It is felt that this donation is more praiseworthy because the aircraft industry is in such perilous plight, that many firms are struggling to keep in existence, and that many others have been forced to cease their activities. The Society of British Aircraft Constructors has gone to an infinite amount of trouble to raise subscriptions to what they have felt is such a -worthy object, and they will be the more gratified to know that immediate and effective use of the funds is recorded in the minutes of the last Meeting. An Enterprising Rural Councillor MR. W. BULLIVANT of Old Windsor, on February 23rd, in order to attend a meeting of the Windsor Rural District Council, flew by aeroplane from Paris. Needless to say, his arrival created quite a stir in the sombre surroundings of the Old Windsor workhouse. After the meeting Mr. Bullivant again left by aeroplane for France, en route to Italy.

A Souvenir of the War WE have received an interesting souvenir of the War in the form of an artistically and luxuriously got up volume containing a record of the 94 Gift Battleplanes which were presented to the Imperial Government by Australia and Malaya in response to appeals organised by Mr. C. Alma Baker, C.B.E. In addition to numerous photographic reproductions of all the various types of machines presented —in most cases of the actual machine itself—together with a list of donors, there is an article, illustrated with reproduc- tions of pictures by Mr. Fred Leist and Mr. Joseph Simpson, by Lieut.-Col. E. A. Ewart (Boyd Cable) on " The Presenta- tion Planes : Their Use and Value." Copies of this work, which is a gratifying record of but a small quota of the excellent work done by our Colonies during the Great War, have been accepted by Their Majesties the King and Queen, H.M. Queen Alexandra, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, and the Duke of Connaught. It is altogether a valuable tome, which should take its place in the history ot War work. New French Military Aeroplane FROM France it is reported that the Eablissemeiit Schneider, at Creusot, are hard at work on a new four-engined military aeroplane, in which the four engines will be arranged in tandem inside a central fuselage. The wing span will bi about 100 ft., and the power plant is to consist of four engines of 400 h.p. each. The machine will be designed lor bombing work, and will carry several machine guns. The Goliath pilot, Lieut. Gonin, has been engaged to test the first machine, while it is possible that Casale, who has already tested the Bleriot Mammouth, will test the second machine. The Oehmichen Helicopter * \ ^ M. OEHMICHEN continues his tests with the small helicopter referred to in FLIGHT recently. He has now made several ascents without accident, thanks to the small balloon which is attached to the helicopter and which serves to stabilise rather than lift it, the total lift of the balloon being 71 kilos, only, while the weight of the machine, with pilot on board is 336 kilos. The weight supported by the screws is thus 336 — 71 = 265 kilos., or 10.6 kilos. (23.3 lbs.) per h.p the machine being fitted with an old Dutheil-Chalmers two- cylindered engine of 25 h.p. l6o
