THE SOCIETY OF MODEL AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS IT is pleasurable to note that the above Society is " Cning ahead " with the 1929 flving season—having already held two successful meetings on Wimbledon Common, where, "ii glancing down the fixture list, one finds they are almost entirely confining their activities. The British Empire movement mentioned in FLIGHT a short time ago is progressing rapidly. The New Zealand Model Airplane Club has now joined forces with the S.M.A.E. i hey are taking a keen interest and are producing their own Journal," which reminds one that the S.M.A.E. Journal >s still being issued and continues to be a valuable periodical for model aircraft enthusiasts. International affairs are also showing a lively activity : Members of the Aircraft Model League of America are reported to be hard at work preparing models for an American contest. the winners of which will visit London from July 10 to 15 for the Sir Charles Wakefield International Competition, which at present looks like being held at Halton, Bucks, on Sunday, July 15, at 3 p.m. Two important points to note regarding this International contest are :—(1) That the eliminating trials for the selection of the British team to defend the Cup will be held on Hendon Aerodrome on Saturday, June 8, at 4 p.m. Provincial entrants unable to attend may submit reports of two judges giving durations of six consecutive flights of their models, together with report on general weather conditions, including temperature at the time of such flights. Such entries will be considered if received not later than June 8. The decision of the S.M.A.E. Council, however, will be final. (2) Foreign and Colonial entries must reach the Secretary not later than July 1. 1929. Full particulars and rules can be obtained from the Secretary, S.M.A.E.. 23, Mayfair Avenue, Ilford, Essex. 371
