Surprise is expressed by British aeroplane manufacturers at the statement alleged to have been made by Captain Barnard, at Bristol, regarding his flight with the Duchess of Bedford to India, and back.

Captain Barnard said, it was reported. that he regretted they could not possibly have used a British acroplane on the trip, for there was not a machine built in Britain that could have made the night.

Mr. Handley Page, of Handley- Page Ltd., retorted: "Considering that the only machine that has, flown non-stop to India was Bri- fish built, that

most of machines that have flown to India were British, and that the first machine to make the flight back in 1918 was British, it is obvious that this can hardly be correct."

Other opinions expressed were: An official of D. Napier and Son Ltd.: "It seems rather a foolish statement to make, for it was a machine fitted with one of our engines that made the non-stop That machine flight to India. was examined when it reached
