Tho aeroplano shown in the layout is the intest thing in instruments of destruction, and illustrates graphically the armament-maker's art. The neroplane, which is the new R.A.F. "Fairey" bombing aeroplane, is no fast that it makes combat' aeroplanes useless. With a addition to speed of over 300 miles per hour, non-breakable glasá encasements for the pilot and gunner, special fighting equipment in bombs, the new alremft marks a long forward step in the development of attacking aeroplanes. So effective is the machine, however, that British aviation experts aro wondering what they can build row to act as a defence against it. Ordinary fighting acroplanes cannot cope with the speed and manoeuvrability of the "Fairey"; It has retractable undercarriage, three-blado propeller, split wing flaps to reduce landing speed, all-metal airframe except for control surfaces, and a new 12-cylinder Rolls-Royce engine. It has a wing spread of 54 feet and an overall length of 42 feet. Bombs are carried inside the wings.
The Pridie Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, is pictured here as he walks with part of his dress uniform on his arm. In admiral's garb, he is on his way Buckingham Palace for the first levee of King Edward VIII.
