In previous years FLIGHT has urged, and at long last managed to get adopted, the idea that machines should carry racing numbers corresponding to their handicap allowances. In other words, the limit man should carry 1 as his racing number and the scratch man should have die highest number. In that way it is much easier to see how competitors are overtaking each other. This year the racing numbers have no relation to the handicap allow ances, but represent, in fact, tho sequence in which the machines were entered. This sequence is, of course, of no particular interest or significance, but as this year's King's Cup is to be flown as a series of eliminating trials, the numbers will be " mixed up " in any case, and this numbering is therefore as good as any other. Handicap Speeds In the table above we give particulars of the entries tor the King's Cup Race. As received from the Royal Aero Club this table was arranged in accordance with racing numbers. As this seemed very confusing, we have re arranged the table in handicap order, which explains the apparent muddle of the racing numbers. The last column of the table needs a little explanation.
