Second in command will be Bimbashi S. N. Webster, whose Egyptian rank obscures, even if it does not conceal, the identity of the winner of the Schneider Trophy Contest at Venice in 1927. Oases Meeting BRITISH competitors in the Oases Meeting will be required to hold the F.A.I. Sporting Licence, and those who have not already done so should apply to the Royal Aero Club for such Lcence, sending one passport photo graph. Airwork changes CAPT. E. D.

Hawkers for Portugal THE Portuguese Government has recently placed an order for a small number of Hawker " Fury " single-seater fighters (Rolls-Royce " Kestrel " engines). These machines will, of course, be built in this country, but we understand that it is quite probable that the Portuguese Government may decide to build further machines in Portugal under licence.
