THE EASTERN COUNTIES AERO CLUB Owing to the success of the first dance of the Eastern Counties Aero Club it has been arranged for another one to be held at the Red Lion Hotel, Colchester, on Thursday, January 21, from 8 p.m. to 1.30 a.m. Tickets for this function are available for non-members in order that a large-sized gathering may be ensured, and those wishing to come are particularly asked to book their tickets as early as possible in order that the Committee may facilitate the arrangements. Tickets are obtainable in the first place from the Secretary, Municipal Aero drome, Ipswich (Ipswich 3294); or the Hon. Branch Secretary, Station G'irage, Colchester (Colchester 3800); or the Aerodrome Manager, Blue Barns Aerodrome, Ard- leigh, Colchester (Ardleigh 51), at a cost of 7s. 6d. single, or 10s. double, including supper. THE SAILPLANE AND GLIDER •*• As our readers know, this is the official organ of the British Gliding Association, and it appears this month in its new form with a coloured cover and Mr. F. Entwistle as Editor. It is exceptionally well got up and besides club news has many interesting articles. There is one on hill soaring by " Ventigern," and a semi-technical article trans lated from our German contemporary Flugsport, on " The Birds' Wing as a Basis for the Theory of the Z Wing." Mr. Wolf Hirth, whom it will be remembered recently lectured in this country on his return from America, also discusses the problems of auto-towed launching. THE BRITISH GLIDING ASSOCIATION *• The annual General Meeting will be held in the library of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 7, Albemarle Street, London, S.W.I, on Monday, February 22, at 7.30 p.m. The business will include the election to the council of ten representatives of the founder, original and life members. Nominations signed by two members and the candidate himself must be received by January 25. GLIDING IN JAPAN: The first Japanese-built high-performance soarer, " Yamazaki," designed and constructed in Tokio by Yoshio Yamazaki, who is seen on the extreme right in the first picture. 53
