BRITISH WONDER

·WARPLANE.

ARMAMENT OF BOMBS, GUNS AND TORPEDO.

HOVERING FLIGHT.

A new fighting acroplane the most remarkable craft ever bullt for warfare in the skies-has been completed for the Air Ministry at Brough, on the Humber.

Capable of a speed of 150 miles an hour, it is yet able to remain in the air for 12 hours with a full load, discharge a torpedo weigh ing a ton and drop hombs..

Probably the most striking fea- ture of the aeroplane is its ability to take off in a run of 50 yarda and ascend almost vertically. Military attaches and air experta from many countries travelled to this out-of-the-way haven on the Humber to-day to see Britain's Intest Ighting machine put through its paces.

The nations represented at the trials were:-

Argentine,

Brazil, Chile,

Finland, Greece, Italy,

Japan,

The occasion was also used to demonstrate the brillance of Air Force flying, and Squad-Leader Noakes, of Martlesham R.A.F. station, one of Britain's "crack" pilots and a during exponent of "crazy" flying, took the air in a tiny fighting 'plano.

Strapped to his seat and sitting on his parachute, Capt. Noakes did every conceivable stunt-looping, flying upside down for a mile or more, missing shed roofs appar ently by inches, dropping tail first, and racing a few feet from the ground with his machine at an angle of 40 degrees.

All this he did at a speed doable that which he has attained at any public display,
