Melbourne, Feb. 20. In a Melbourne backyard three brothers have built the Flying Wog, a £75 rival to the famous Flying Flen.... It has just been through its test flights.

The Flying Wog has a 48-hp. three-cylinder Blackburn Thrush engine. It is capable of 75 m.p.h., has a landing speed of only 18 m.p.h. It will not stall or spin in flight, and takes off, it is said, in fifty yards.,

The 19-feet wide front wing is movable, and acts as a slotted wing with the fixed rear wing.
