E. Pratt and Mr. L. G. Robinson, and of threepassengers, Mr. J. Grimshaw, Mrs. E. Russel Armitage, and Mr. A. H. Turner, appears to have been the result of stallingwhile near the ground. The inquest was opened at the Victory Hall, Ivinghoe, on Monday, September 17, whencertain evidence was heard, but was adjourned until Monday of next week, September 24. Probably the exact reason willnever be definitely ascertained, and we can but express our sincere sympathy with the relatives of the victims of thetragedy. The Northampton Polytechnic and AeronauticsIN our notice last week referring to the Evening Classes in Aeronautical Engineering at the Northampton Polytechnicwe did .not make it clear that there are also Day Classes in this and other subjects. As a matter of fact the Day Classes inAeronautical Engineering may be considered of far greater importance than the evening ones, as they are constituted ona much larger scale. Students are trained for four years, and are made, in the truesense of the word, aeronautical engineers. During the four- year course, they spend two summers, from Easter to October,in commercial workshops, and thus become in their specialising years young engineers rather than college students. On theother hand, they are presented, if they be matriculated students of the University, for the degree of B.Sc. (England) at theUniversity of London, and in the past a number of them have obtained that degree, specialising in Aeronautics. For further No. 32 Squadron, Kenley. 11.9.23. H.

Flying at Margate THE Essex Aviation Company have just finished passenger flying at Palm Bay, Cliftonville, with their Avro (504 K) G-EBCK, piloted by Mr. Frank Neale (late advanced In- structor, R.A.F.). Flying started on August 15, and up to' September 10 something like 2,000 passengers have been taken up, at prices ranging from 7s. %d. to £1. Several passengers were stunted over the sea, for which £1 was charged. The Essex Company left Margate on Tuesday, September 11, and have returned to Epping, Essex. The French Aircraft Industry Reviewed OUR French contemporary L'Air is to be congratulated on the very interesting special number just published, devoted to French aeronautics. A special edition has been issued printed in English, one of which we have before us, and both the." get up " and the matter contained within its pages are excellent. M. Laurent Eynac, French Under-Secretary of State for Air, writes a short introduction, in which he says : " The present edition of the Revue VAir has no other object than to express what we have accomplished, what we are actually doing and what we intend accomplishing in the future. There arc, in the pages of this revue, a series of sound and impartial articles, which, in my opinion, have the double merit of being useful in the eyes of truthfulness as they are in the cause of aeronautics." In addition to the articles referred to there is also a very complete illustrated " guide " to the various French aeroplane, aero engine, and aero component firms §67
