New Reservations.
Points are awarded for the actual: flying speed over the course after deducting the time spent at control points, while reliability also enters largely into consideration when judging the winner.
The engines of the machines were sealed at the start and the im- portant parts must not be changed. Replacement of the under-carriage means disqualification, hence the necessity on the part of the com- petitors to avoid forced landings.
The purpose of the contest is to evolve an ideal touring machine at a reasonable price. There are 27 compulsory stopping places, ap- proximately · 170 miles apart. Only 195 out of 500 marks are allowed for speed, the others be- ing awarded after various techni- cal tests, including comfort, acces- sibility of parts, landing, capacity, etc.
Last year there were only two- British entrants both among to- day's competitors namely Captain Broad and Miss Spooner. Both last time completed the course well ahead of their rivals and Broad was placed second in the general classification and first in the category for heavier machines. Miss Spooner was then the only was placed woman flying and tenth.
The early stages of the flight, which began in bad weather, were Brunswick, Frankfurt, Calais, Bristol and London. Mr. Butler, flying a Gipsy Moth, was the årst competitors to reach Brunswick, his time for the stage being 80 minutes. -Messrs.
