The Secretary will thereforebe glad if those concerned will regard this announcement as a personal invitation. Applications for tickets (which will be10s., inclusive) should be made to the Secretary, Re-union Dinner, Wireless School, R.A.F., Winchester. '. World Flight Machines APROPOS the proposed World flight by the Portuguese,Capt. Cabral, and the machine he is reported to be using, there appears to be some misunderstanding by either the manu-facturers of the Fokker machine or by the Captain himself, judging by an announcement recently in English by the Fokkerpeople. In their weekly Bulletin recently they say that '•' The Portuguese Captain Sacadura Cabral has placed anorder ior some Fokker seaplanes for his forthcoming flight round the world, preferring these machines to those of France or England. WTe call to mind that the famous pilot used a' Fairey ' machine for his trans-Atlantic flight last year, and that he had lately received a good offer from the ' Fairey 'Company for this occasion. While visiting the aviation companies in France the Captain was feed in the presence of alarge audience at the Sorbonne, who would naturally have been pleased to receive his order on this occasion, simultaneouslyintroducing their machines into Portugal. Nevertheless after inspecting the Fokker seaplanes, he selected the typeT.III.W, for the Round-the-World flight." Now, with every admiration for the Fokker design, somebodyis being led astray over this, as the facts as we learn them are that no " good offer " was ever made by the Fairey AviationCompany. On the contrary ; following negotiations failure to do business was due to refusal to reduce prices. Further,we understand from Mr. Fairey himself that there was no reason for them to reduce prices as they are so extremely fullof orders, and, therefore, no point in making reductions for the Portuguese expedition. The Fairey Company are alreadybuilding a machine for Tymms for a British round-the-world flight, and Mr. Fairey considered that any money they wereprepared to spend in this direction was due to the British side and not to a foreign attempt. 660
