900—901 FLIGHT, 29 June 1961 ROUND THE STICKS IN the racing mid-season, with Cardiff and Bristol events flown and the Kings Cup Race at Baginton ahead, we present here ••Flight" photographs which con- vey the racing mood and capture the exhilarating feeling of a tight pylon turn. The aircraft comprise the familiar Gemini, the sprightly Turbulent, the rejuvenated Archbishop Tiger, the anglicized Emeraude known as the Linnet, and the first foreign type to be entered for the Kings Cup Race—the Cessna 175. The entry list for this year's Kings Cup Race, to be flown on July 15, is made up of the seven pilots in each of three classes who obtained highest marks in the London - Cardiff race and the short-circuit class races at Rhoose. Leader on points at present in the British Air Racing Championship is Capt G. P. Watson (Proctor 3) with 64 points; the final champion will be determined after the Kings Cup results have been taken into account. Cessna I7SA Miles Gemini Garland Linnet and "Archbishop" Tiger Moth
