Helicopters and Tea r)UNSBOROUGH PARK, Ripley,-*-' Surrey, the gracious home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hughesdon, was lastSaturday once again die vemie for the annual helicopter garden party. Asbefore, the rally was arranged by the Helicopter Association of Great Britain,and most types of British helicopter were on display. Even the Rotodynemade a teatime guest-appearance—at some altitude—to command theabsorbed attention reserved for a visiting star. The Bristol contingent(photograph 1) smart as ever, arrived with two Sycamores in formation withthe Bristol 173. Mr. J. Jefferys, shaking hands with Miss Florence Desmond(Mrs. Charles Hughesdon) in photo- graph 2, later flew his host to Kemp-ton Park races. Next to Miss Desmond is Mr. Hughesdon and, on the right,Mr. T. L. Ciastula of Saunders-Roe. Westland's contribution included (3)their red - and - white Widgeon G-AKTW, which gave several gueststheir first taste of helicoptering, and the very smart blue-and-white Whirl-wind visible in the background.
