EDITORIAL COMMENT. - this week's issue of FLIGHT we publish .. illustrations and particulars of the machines, engines and other aircraft: material to be exhibited at Gothenburg by British firms. The exhibition will be a thoroughly representative one from the British point of view, and' although Air Ministry restrictions, have deleted from the British section many interesting! machines which some of our constructors would like: _ .„. . . to have exhibited, those that remain- Britain at .„ ,.„ ,. ..

It will be understood that, what with the difficulties arising out of the " secret " nature of certain new types, and the somewhat delicate task of selecting and agreeing upon the types to be represented, the Society of British Aircraft Con- structors has not had an easy task. That agreement has, nevertheless, been reached is a matter for congratulation, and, as we have already said, taking into consideration the very many, and very great, difficulties that have had to be contended with, there is not much to find fault with in the selections made. We could have wished to see British commercial aircraft represented at the exhibition. As it is, the machines shown are, without exception, military - types. Whether this is due to the assumption, on the part of those making the selections, that the Scandinavian countries may be expected to purchase military machines, but not commercial ones, we have no means of knowing. We quite realise that, with a. Government subsidy of limited amount, the number" of exhibits financially possible was rather restricted, but we must confess a certain amount of disappoint- ment that not a single British commercial machine will be on view. We trust, however, that a fair number of machines of this type will take part in, or at any rate be present at, the flying competitions,, etc., to be held concurrently with the latter part of the exhibition. In an article published in FLIGHT on June 14, 1923, we gave particulars of the flying com- petitions to be held at Gothenburg from August 3 to August 10, and it is there pointed out that, what with substantial prizes offered for the arrival competition and the premium of 1 Swedish krona per kilometre
