PLANES
for the
R. A. F.
DEFORE very long the Germans are likely to D fed the effect of Britain's new war planes-- the Stirling, the Tornado, the Whirlwind, the Manchester and the Botha.
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 an aerodrome, with which Short Brothers were associated, he saw a strange four-motor machine standing on the ground,
It did not strike him as purticulofly blg until tris eyes suddenly focussed, on a terrace of houses just behind it, "nud," he said,
"It completely dwarfed the houses and nearly blotted them out of the landscape."
Since then the Queen Elizabeth has done a lot of useful work and to have Short Brothers.
THERE is a good story of the new Stirling bomber In its embryo stage.
A flying model, or "mock-up," s the aircraft trade enlls it-to try out the controls and general proportions was bulit, secretly, and everybody was almost on oath not to talk about
it

One day the small daughter of one of the senior technical staff running in from school and nounce excitedly: "Oh, Daddy, 1 Ditle was told at school that the bomber is going to by to-day, Can I go and see it?" Collapse of Daddy who had been as men . any oyster,
THE Blackburn Bothe made its first
pubite appearance incognito at'an historic gathering of M.P. and other privileged quests-and a lot of un- invited foreigners along the rond out- side at Northolt Aerodrome a few weeks before the war.
We-were-shown-all-the-existing- Service types in nctlun. Afterwards, two unnaincable twin-motor mono- planes appeared' from nowhere and shot across the aerodrome at aston- ishing speeds.

Charles G. Grey
(Editor of "All the World's Aircraft)
Some of us knew that one of them was the Botha. The other was not. It is still unmentionable and is a very nice neroplane.
The Botha, I see, is oficially called n General Reconnaissance machine and not a twin-motor fighter or a medam bomber.
Reconnoitring means just looking around. The crew of the Botha will have to look pretty sharp If they are going to recognise much us they go by.

NATURALLY much interest is
taken in the lawker Tornado and its new Rolls-Royce Vulture inotor, And, naturally, one cannot say any thig dednite about its performance. But look at it this way,
You and everybody know how good the nwker Hurricane has been, and the Supermarine Splifre, and what terrific fire-power they have had compared with their enemies. They have had Rolls-Royce Merlins of 1,000 h.p. boosted-to-perhaps 1:200 ̄hip:
Now just think how much better inn the Hurricane the Tor- nedo must be to con- vince the Air Ministry and the Ministry of Air- craft Production that all the upset and the work of changing over to it is worth while.
That means millions of pounds. spent on new jigs, new tools, new
Die Special materials and
trans- ference of mittions (yes, really mililons) of man-hours which might have been making more Hurricanes to the job of making Tornados.
TO MAKE ALL THAT WORTH WHILE THE TORNADO MUST BE MUCH FASTER THAN THE TYPES WHICH IT REPLACES.
It must climb much higher in less time. It must have a much longer range. It must have much greater fre-power than just eight rifle. calibre machine-guns.
We have been fold officially that the Vulture gives 2,000-which, naturally, is a

The lurid glow of a cigarette kas been visible from his bed since five In the morning. He has been shaved and dressed since six-fifteen.
Ilis "Swabbing Job"--that is, ka allotted portion of hut-cleaning-has laken 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 10"
"Make of what?" asks the Old Sweat.
"This," repiles the Portsmouth Lad, and holds up a forelinger. It has changed overnight: it looks like a cucumber. "It's funny, but it sort of throbs,"
"Blood-polsoning." crien the Okl Sweat, with relish. A Bozen soldiers crowd round, utterlag aamiring com- ments.

THE Westland Whirlwind is a well- tried Warrior also. In fact, it is probably the most tried of the 101.

And now it is faster and better still. Beyond saying that li is a twin- motor fighter, one may, very prob- ably, say nothing about 'll.
Of the Avro Manchester nothing may be said, except that it is a big bomber.

The Portsmouth Lad, somewhat thrilled, goes to join the procession of sore heels, mysterious thumbs, unheard-of pains, cracked bones, ima ginary lumbagos, severe colds, mild depressions, gritty eyes and fallen arches-the gently melancholy Sick Parndc.
He returns un hour or so later. proudly exhibiting his finger ban- daged to the size of a swiss rolli and smiling all over his omlable face.
Everybody instantly asks: "What did you get?"
"M and D," says Portsmouth, still beaming. "But we had a nice long chat. What a nice man that 2.0, isi A Jock. All doctors are Jocks. ́..

"So I'm twelve teeth shy,' I says, and I sort of enn't chew me food right kind of style."
"Anything else?' says the Jock doctor.
"Why, nu, 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.
"1 goes," continues Portemouth, "as I says: I'm twelve teeth shy. I says, and please, sir, will you do ⚫numeuling?'
"So the dental man looks at me teeth and says, "They're as right as rain. It may spall your beauty a bit In front, but nothing more than that." "But, I tells him, what abou! chewing me grub?"
