WARSHIP VERSUS

Recent Actions In Narrow Waters Around Gibraltar
We can consider ourselves fortunate
that the evidence, which is beginning to accumulate, concerning the action of warship against aeroplane is being furnished at the expense of others. Last year there was that of the Greek revolution, and this is now in course of being reinforced by the experiences of the Civil War in Spain.

FLOODLIGHTING FOR CORONATION
Millions of people in this coun- try who will be unable to witness the Coronation procession will be able to see, in some form or other, the brilliant floodlighting and fre- work displays all over the land.
These spectacles will greatly · ex- cel even those during the Jubilee,, celebrations.
One feature of the floodlighting schemes, which will be more brill- liant than anything previously at-, tempted, will be the use of colours.
"Hitherto it has been possible to Boodlight in colour only by using colour screens," an electrical ex- pert stated, "but with the new due course we shall be able to in- developments it is possible to air- vestigate all the circumstances of ect the whole of the emitted light this particular case and digest the straight on to the object in col- lessons thereot.

QUESTION OF RADIUS.
The radius within which alr- craft can operate effectively over the sea being from 150 to 200 miles. there are still vast areas of sea In which they can only play a minor role, while as a further counter to their activities the increasing use of darkness in naval operations may be anticipated. As against these general considerations it may fairly be contended that pro- gress in aviation is proceeding so rapidly that. It bids fair to Over- come, or at any rate minimize. many of the disabilities under which it has previously laboured. and that counter measures such as improvements in anti-aircraft artillery and armoured decks have not progressed proportionately in
