REFORE very long the Germans are likely to

Just after the Queen Elizabeth had made her secret voyage to New York-and that is a long time ago a friend told me that while driving
past a aerodrome, with which Short Brothers were associnded, he saw a strange four-meter machine standing on the ground.
It did not strike him as particularly big titil his eyes suddenly focussed on a terrace of houses just behind R. and," he said,
"I completely dwarfed the houses and nearly blotted them out of the fandscape.".
Since then the Queen Elizabeth has lone a lot of useful work and so have Short Brothers.
THERE is a good story of the new Stirling bomber in its embryo

THE Blackburn Botha made its first
public appearance incognito at an historic gathering of M.P.& und' other privileged guests--and a lot of un- invited foreigners along the road out- side-at Northolt Aerodrome a few weeks before the war.
We were shown all the existing Service types in action. Afterwards, Iwa_unnameahte twin-motor_muno- planes appeared from nowhere and shni across the aerodrome al aston- khing speeds.

Some of us knew that one of thein was the Bot, The other was not. It is still unmentionable aust is a very nice neroplane.
The Botha, I see, is leially caller 31 General Reconnaissance machine and net twin-motor fighter or a mertin bomber.
Reconnoitring means just looking around. The crew of the Botha will have to look prelty sharp if they are goles to recognise, much as they qu by.

You and everybody know how good the Hawker Hurricane has been, and the Supermarine Spitfire, and what terrifle re-power they have had compared with their enemies. They have haul Rolk-Royce Merlins of 1,000 h.p.. boosted to perhaps 1,200 h.p.

SICK
THE Portmouth Lad, win never complains of anything, and for whom no toil is tot prolonged or arduous is rauttering a little. In fact, he is not well.
The harid glow of a cigarette his been visible from his bed since five in, the morning. He has been shaved and dressed since six-üfteen.
His "Swabbing Job"--that is, his alloited portion of hul-cleaning--bas taken him a quarter of an hour: ten minutes too long..

Now he sits listlessly, and says:-
"Well I don't know what to make of IL"
"Make of what?" asks the Old Sweat..
"This replies the Portsmouth Land, n holds up a terenger. It has changed overnight: it looks like a Cucunaber. "It's funny, but it sort of throbs."
"Blood-poisoning, cries the Ok -Sweat, with relish. A dozen soldiers crowd round, uttering Botniring com. inents,
"Wicklow," says the Lad from the Elephant.
"That'll avo to come off," says the Kid from Widnes.
"As long as it's not the trigger- Buy trora Anger," says the Good Godalming.
"Go sick," says the Old Sweat "Tell the Orderly Sergeant to put you on the Sick Report. See the M.O. 'E' fx Rt."
"I could tell him about me stoneh at the same time," says the Ports- mouth Lad. He brightens, “And me teeth."
The Orderly Sergeant takes down his name, age, religion, period of service, number, edmpany, and other

Now Just think how much betler than the Hurricane the Tor- nado must be to zon- vince the Air Ministry and the Ministry of Air- craft Production that all the upset and the work of chunging over to it is worth while.
Tint memis millions of pounds spent on new fint new tools, new special materials and the trans- ference of millions (yes, really millions of man-hours which might have been making more Hurricanes to the job of malding Tornados.
TO MAKE ALL THAT WORTH WHILE THE TORNADO MUST DE MUCH FASTER THAN THE TYPES WHICH IT REPLACES,
It must climbs much higher in less Tinw. It must have a much longer rauge. It must have much greater Are-power than just eight rifle- catilire machine-guns.
THE Westhad Whirlwind is a well- tried warrior also, In fact, Is probably the most tried of the lot.
Round its native town il า y long known as the "Crikey," be- cause the local yokela twisted their necks as it went by after the man- er of the people in the famous advertisement..
And now It is faster and better still. Beyond saying that it is a twin- motor ghter. one may, very prob- ably, say nothing about it.
Of the Avro Manchester nothing may be said. execpt that it is a big bomber.
A. V. Roe & Co. Ltd. have never built bad seroplane; for example, the long Blue of 504 Avro trainers, which ran to the 504 K. In its vart ous types, taught_all_the_world's air -forces-to-fly,-and-the-Avro-Ansan- bas done such amazing patrol and bghting with the Cortal Commaxact R.A.F.

The Portsmouth Lad somewhat shrilled, ipes to join the procession' of sore heel, mysterious thumbs. unheard-of pains, cracked bones, ima- gry Jumbagos, severe colds, mild depressions, gritty eyes and fallen arches-the gently melancholy Sick Parade.
He returns an hour or so Jater. proudly exhibiting his finger ban. daged to the size of a swiss roll. and smiling all over his amiable face, Everybody instantly asks: "What did you get?"
"M and D," says Portsmouth, still beaming. "But we had a hleb long chat. What a nice man that M.O., ist A Jock. All doctors are Jocks....
"This finger's nothing. lo lanced It. He told me to rest it if I could. Then 1 told him about ine stomuch,

"T

"Then this bere nice Jock doctor anys "Well, what's wrong with your teelli?" And I say "Nothing, 'em seen to when first I come. They took out the bad uns and left me The good 'uns.

***Why, no, not that I can think of just at the moment,' I tells him. So he tells me to go to the dental place about me teeth,
"I goes,"
continues Portsmouth, "and says; I'm twelve teeth shy." says, and please, sir, will you in something?"
"So the dental man looks at me teeth and says, 'They're as right as ruin. It may spoll your beauty a bit in front, but nothing more than that."
But, I tells him, *what about chewing me grub?"
"He tells me straight: "The Army deeldes, he anys, shat you have suff- clent teeth to en! with. Therefore. you are chewing your food,' he tells me, and if you're not, then you jolly well ought to be.'
"So I comes back.

The Lad from the Elephant, with a calculating look, has comered the Orderly Sergeant.
"I dunno if I ought to go sick,” he kayn. "Mo nose is kind of runnin"."
"Nuddywell chase it," says the Orderly Sergeant.
