FLIGHT, AUGUST 19, 1932 HEADROOM The Guerchais T.9 Henry Massot. (Renault) flown by last week, will occupy the whole of the following week. For the benefit of any FLIGHT readers who might care to visit one of the Continental towns at which calls are made by the competing machines, we give the approximate time-table below. The machines start from Berlin from the early morning of Sunday, August 21, and fly via Warsaw, Cracow, Prague, Brno, Vienna, Zagreb, Postumia, Vicenza, and Rimini to Rome, which will be reached during August 22. Rome will be left on August 23, and the competitors will fly to Paris via Florence, Bellinzona, Turin, Albenga, Cannes, Lyons, St. Gallen, Stuttgart, and Bonn. Lyons is roughly the halfway point, and it may be expected that many of the competitors will spend the night of August 23 there, continuing the next morning to Paris, which will landing tests, and is reported to have become very adept at hand ling her machine. However, when the Messerschmitt machines were withdrawn, Fraulein Bein- horn very sportingly handed her Heinkel He. 64 (Argus) over to Fritz Morzik, who was to have piloted one of them. Thus Morzik, who has twice won the International Touring Competi tion, will be well in the running again this year. Another previous winner, Reinhold Poss, had been entered on a Messerschmitt, and, when that was withdrawn, Herr Siebel emulated Fraulein Beinhorn's example, and handed his Klemm Kl.32 (Siemens) over to Pase- waldt, so that Poss could pilot Pasewaldt's machine, a Klemm Kl.32 with Argus engine. Raab nearly " missed the boat " on his Raab-Katzenstein 25-32 (Argus). When he was about to start from Adlershof, his engine refused to start, and by the time he reached Staaken it was one hour after the official " closing time." He still had the option of paying double entrance fee and get in that way. At first he refused to do this, but in the end he agreed (see p. 788). A belated arrival at double fee was also made by the Italian pilot, V. Suster, on a Breda 33, who brought the total number of machines ready to start their technical tests up to 43. It is expected that the technical tests will be concluded by about midday of Saturday next, August 20, so that the com petitors may have a little rest before they start on the Circuit of Europe. In the afternoon of that day the competitors will flv from Staaken, where the technical tests are being held, to Tempel- hofer Field, whence the Circuit of Europe will start in the early BEETLES AT BERLIN: Above, the Polish competitors, fitted with De Havil- mormng of Sunday, August 21. land "Gipsy III" and Armstrong Siddeley "Genet Major" engines.

The nearest points to England will be Deauville and Rotterdam, where most of the machines will call during Friday, August 26.
