It is laid down that if an aeroplane approaches such a field and there is not time for the troops to double to the sides of the field, they should not be allowed to scatter in an endeavour to dodge the aeroplane, but should lie down immediately ; for if the men are allowed to run about, it not only confuses the pilot and increases the chance of a crash, but renders the men liable to be hit bv the aeroplane. Advice and instructions are also given as to subsequent procedure when an aeroplane has made a forced landing but escaped undamaged, and when it has crashed. Wattel It Do ? " CAPT FONCK and M. Wattel, the designer of the Wattel engine have founded a company called the " Societe Anonyme de Mecamque. Aeronautique. Automobile, Marine Industrie, with a capital of 500,000 fr., for exploiting this engine. Air Display for Wembley To mark the opening of this year's British Empire Exhibition, at Wcmblev. a great spectacular display, entitled ' London Defended/' in the Stadium, has been arranged, m 139 <S> <S> which the Royal Air Force, the Royal Marines, and the Metropolitan Police will take part. Help from the Skies for Skiers NEWS having been received that three skiers, who had set out from Zurich a week previously with only four days' provisions, were missing, and owing to the fact that a 6-ft. fall of snow in two days prevented search parties going to their rescue, three military airmen from Duebendorf flew over the Beniina with the object of locating the three skiers. The latter were observed coming dowrn from Marinelli Hut, on the Italian side, and the airmen forthwith dropped bags of food for the skiers and then returned to St. Moritz with the news of their safety. Fatal Air Collisions FLIGHT-LIEUTENANT JOSEPH WHITE, of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Mr. R. H. Cross, of Toronto, an officer of the Royal Canadian Air Force in training at Camp Borden, were killed on February 24 as the result of a collision between their machine and another aeroplane. The latter effected a safe landing. Another mid-air collision occurred at Le Bourget on February 25, when a military aeroplane, emerging from a cloud, crashed into another machine, which fell in a damaged condition from a height of 3,000 ft. Both occupants were killed, but the other machine managed to land safely.
