MAITLAND, C.M.G., D.S.O., A.F.C., Royal Air Force, in the disaster to the airship " R.38 " on August 24. It is impossible at present to answer them all personally, but they hope to do so in the near future. .,, • ..... . m m m m' HONOURS IT was announced in the London Gazette of September 2 that his Highness the Bey of Tunis has conferred upon Lieut E. G. Macintyre, Royal Air Force, the Order of Nichan- Iftikhar (3rd Class), for valuable services rendered in connection with "the War. . • & m m m ' Relinquishment of R.A.F. Stations THE land and buildings comprising the under-mentioned R.A.F. stations have been passed to the Disposal Board for disposal : Balloon Stores Depot, Kingsnorth ; Airship Con- structional Station, Barrow-in-Furness ; and Kite Balloon and Seaplane Station, Houton Bay, Orkney Isles. Sadi Wins Italian Grand Prix » IN connection with the Italian Grand Prix for motor- cars at Brescia, from September 4 to 11, a " Gran Premio d'ltalia d'Aviazione " was flown on September 4, which was won easily by Sadi Lecointe, on a Tsieuport-Delage biplane, 300 Hispano-Suiza engine. Thirty-six entries for this race had been received, of which the fallowing started :•—Stoppam (Ansaldo), Ganzini (Gabardini), Leonardi (Gabardini), Baratini (Spad), Beghetti (Gabardini), Ferrark) (Ansaldo), Brack Papa (Fiat), Lordi (Fiat), Sadi Lecointe (Nieuport- Delage), Massi (Spad), Zambelli (Gabardini), and Lovadina (Ansaldo). The course was one of 280 kiloms. (174 miles), and was covered in the shortest time by Sadi, whose time was 1 hr. 13 mins. 9 sees., or an average speed of 132 m.p.h. Brack Papa on the Fiat was second, his time being 1 hr. 18 mins. 58 sees.Entries for Deutsch Cup THE final entries list for the Coupe Deutsch, to be flown at Etampes on October 1, is as follows :—(1) Hanriot (Rost) ; (2) Lumiire de Monge (de Romanet) ; (3) Nieuport ; (4) Sesquiplan Nieuport-Delage ; (5) Dittog (6) Mars I (J. H. James, and (7) Fiat. The pilot of the Fiat is not yet an- nounced, but will probably be.. Brack Papa, who obtained second place in the Italian Grand Prix. The pilots of the Nieuports will be Lannes, Kirch and Lecointe, although it has not yet been announced who will pilot which. It appears probable that Lannes will fly the older type (No. 3), while Kirch and Lecointe each take one of the new one-and-a-half planes (Sesquiplan). It is extremely gratifying to see the ; . Mars I entered for this country, and knowing the machine and pilot we have nc hesitation in saying that we feel sure the French pilots will have all their work cut out. It is one thing to establish speed records over a kilometre, with the human element entering into the timing with stop-watch, but quite another to fly in the same race, and we personally have every hope for the British entrant with his 450 h.p. Napier Lion engine. SEPTEMBER 8, 1921 SIDE-WIND IN view of the strenuons work which will have to be done by the little Avro Seaplane which Sir Ernest Shackleton is taking with him to the Antarctic, it is not in the least surprising to learn that this machine is equipped throughout with instruments by S. Smith and Sons (M.A.). On such a^ trip nothing can be left to chance, and the reputation of" Smith instruments is such that these would naturally come to mind instantly when thinking of equipment. m m m m ••'•'' - T: NOTICE TO AIRMEN Aerodromes for Civil Use : Amendments .
