13 73 (Left) Frontal aspect of the Fokker S.I3 crew trainer (two Pratt and Whitney Wasps) showing the generous area of trans- parency in the nose. (Right) the arabesque formation of the wheel castings on the Sud- Ouest S.O.30P Bre- tagne transport caught the eye of English visitors. Deurne Good Show ! : At Antwerp-Deurne No. 247 Squadron brilliantly repre- sented the R..A.F. Pictured are officers of the visiting contingent : (I. to r.), F/L S. R. Warren (engineer offi- cer), S/L A. C. Rawlinson, D.F.C. (O.C.. Flying Wing), F/O. N. Carter, A.F.C., F/L F. M. Hegarty, F/L R. W. Bunyan. A.F.C, S/L P.E. Vaughan-Fowler, D.S.O., D. F. C. (Officer Com- manding), and F/L T. W. Kearton. Formation aero- batics were performed by F/Ls. Hegarty (leader), Bun- yan and Kearton ; F/O. " Nick " Carter was the individualist. The singular appearance of the French transport air- craft below—the Breguet 890 Mercure—is accounted for by the view on the right, showing the rear fuselage swung out on its hinges to allow freight loading. The neat built-in derrick will be noted. Bristol Hercules engines power this most interesting aircraft. It is still on test and was flying at Antwerp with water-bal- last tanks in the cargo hold.
