Carr and Gillman to the effect that they were forced to descend owing to some technical failure, the definite cause of which the Air Ministry is unable to ascertain until the officers have returned to England and made their report. S.S. " Donax," which conveyed the officers to Abedan and also rendered all possible assistance, is the property of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, who have issued instructions to their shipping in the Persian Gulf to endeavour to salve the aeroplane. The Royal Air Force Cape Flight JUST before the second Royal Air Force flight from Cairo to the Cape and back was completed, the Napier Company— whose " Lion " engines played so important a part in both last year's and the present nights—produced a little book containing the official report of the first 1926 expedition. This report contains much of considerable interest, and we think the Napier Company have done a wise thing in pub- lishing it in book form, so that it can have a much wider circulation than that which it was possible for the Air Ministry to give when they issued the report. The book itself is excel- lently produced, and contains many interesting illustrations from photographs taken en route, in addition to two splendid maps—placed on the inner covers of the book—showing the routes taken both on the African and the " Home " or Euro- pean sections of the flight. We have no hesitation in saying that this book should make a valuable addition to one's aviation library, and all who can should apply to the Napier Company for a copy. BRITISH AERO ENGINES ABROAD: Our illustration shows the " Atlantida " patrol of Dornier-Wai flying boats, belonging to the Spanish Royal Navy, at Las'Palmas (Canary Is.)- These flying boats, all of which are fitted with 360 h.p. Rolls-Royce aero engines, are engaged in a flight to Spanish Guiana. 357
