FLIGHT, MAY 27, 1932 : M 1 • .. 1 »• 1 m .. - k .r !«***••< ll^ *| TI ^FT-***"* XT^' '^^- \ X^| J ^ , ^i The Hon. H. Hachisuka making a speedy get-away. (FLIGHT Photo.) Fit. Lt. D. V. Ivins boarding his privately- owned Bristol Fighter (Hispano). (FLIGHT Photo.) The handicappers (right to left), F. Rowarth and W. Dancy. (FLIGHT Photo.) programme will commence at 3 p.m., and after the usual fly past there will be a demonstration of the Hawker " Fury." There will also be delayed drops by parachutists, which event will be combined with a guessing competition as to the height at which the drop takes place. Another innovation will be a pylon race by three machines. Two pylons will be within easy but safe dis tance of the enclosures, while the third will be outside. The races will be composed of six or seven laps. The commercial aircraft shown at the display will in many cases be those actually used on air routes, and will include the Breguet in which the French pilots Codos and Rolida made a record flight from Hanoi to Paris. There will also be a Concours d'Elegance for visiting aircraft. This is open to all machines on the payment of 5s. entry fee. Visitors landing by air should do so before 3 p.m., as between that hour and 5 p.m. no landing or taking off can be allowed. On landing, pilots should taxy towards the sewage-farm park and report to the kiosk for badges and information. Cars arriving for the 5s. enclosure will enter the track and proceed right-handed around the north side to the back of the club buildings. LJENLYS' RALLY ** Henlys' Rally, to be held at Heston Airport on June 4, will be distinguished by the presence of Mr. Mollison and Miss Amy Johnson, who will act as joint presidents of the meeting, at the conclusion of which Miss Johnson will give away the prizes. At the present time there are already some 500 entrants, including those for the aeroplane altitude race, and it may therefore be justifi ably felt that the success of the Rally is assured. During the afternoon flights will be available to all those who wish to make them, and particularly for those who wish to fly over to Brooklands to see the finish of the 1,000 miles race. T ANDING AT EASTBOURNE *-* The field mentioned as being suitable for landing at Eastbourne, in FLIGHT for April 8, is being used for the Sussex Agricultural Show, and will, therefore, be unsuit able for aircraft until the end of August. I ANCASHIRE AERO CLUB CHANGE LJ After nearly 3J years as Chief Flying Instructor, Mr. D. E. Hall has left the club and relinquished his post to Mr. G. F. Yuill. Mr. Hall laid no claim to being a bril liant aerobatic pilot, but he was one of the soundest in structors to be found. He never took unnecessary risks, never lost his equanimity, and, moreover, had the uncanny knack of treating his pupil as if that pupil was the most important one he had yet had. Mr. Hall will not be leav ing the district, and club members therefore hope that he will continue to be a regular visitor. About the middle of June the club will be organising a flying meeting in the Isle of Man. During this meeting there will be a race consisting of approximately two circuits around the island, a total distance of some 104 miles, in addition to which minor competitions will be staged. The Aero Club have granted permission for this meeting subject to the Air Ministry licence for a landing ground at Castletown. June 18 will most probably be the date eventually fixed, and members willing to help in the organisation are asked to keep the period, June 17-19, free. The Annual Display of the Scottish Flying Club was held at Moorpark Aerodrome, Renfrew, on May 21, 22 and 23 in " some " rain. " Heracles," the Imperial Airways H.P.42, flew up so that visitors were able to have joy rides in a modern large aircraft. On Saturday there was a display by No. 602 (City of Glasgow) (Bomber) Squadron, A.A.F., in their Westland " Wapitis." 466
