E ill A New Aerodrome at Hornchurch IT is reported that the Air Ministry have acquired a large tract of land (about 300 acres) at Hornchurch, Essex, about 20 miles from London, where it is proposed to establish an aerodrome, which will form an important part of the London Air Defence scheme. A World's Record for Sweden ? ON August 18 last Lieut. Berndt Krook, of the Swedish Navy, succeeded in attaining an altitude of 5,690 m. (18,669 581 ft.) on a seaplane carrying a load of 250 kg. (551-25 lbs.). This is far in excess of the altitude of 3,760 m. reached by M. Laporte on March 24 last, and of 3,307 m. attained by the U.S. pilot T^ieut. Brix in July, 1923, and if approved by the F.I.A. will constitute a World's record for tins class. Lieut. Krook was flying a seaplane (Brandenburg type ?) built by the Swedish Aero Co., Ltd., fitted with a 360 h.p. Rolls- Royce " Eagle IX " engine—so once again British aero engines have made good.
