These onlookers were particularly impressed by the demonstration given by one plane which was pulled upwards almost vertically by the new type of British constant speed airscrew. The machine made an astonishing take off. The run took only 4 seconds, from when it' began to move to mount, the wheels were off the ground and then the machine stood on its taff and soared vertically up to the cumulus clouds several thousand feet above the aerodrome.
Experts described this new con- stant speed airscrew as a triumph of British development.
