VISUAL AIDS

A recent issue of Flight contained an interesting illustrated article, showing how, by the use of a new instrument named the Gyorizon, it is possible for an airman to perform aerobatics flying, “blind" under the hood of a plane.

· Details are given of a thrilling flight, in this manner, by Flight Lieutenant H. A. Howes, formerly with the Far East Avinlion Ca. in Hongkong, and who is now engaged at the Desford Civil Aero- drome in Leicester training recruits for the Royal Air Force.

Following are extracts from the article * In Flight, written "HAT.":

Since the original "Invention" instrument flying and the standardi- sation of suitable instruments in ul} transport neroplanes, the discussions on the relative merits of free and restrained gyros have been many and tedious. Of these systems tie free type may be epitomised as an artificial] korizon and the restrained types as al rate-of-turn indicator. The best an- swer to all arguments is given in the fact that, while pilots of big machines generally prefer to fly on free gyro instruments, international conventions have insisted, that a restrained gyro. instrument must be fitted,

It might be said that the Gyarizon has been proilured in order to combine, to some extent, the advantages of both, but this is by no means, the whole story. It is simple to follow, functions in all possible attitudes and is also comparatively inexpensive in production.

Briefly, the Gyorizon is a combina- tion of a normal rate-of-turn indien- tion with a visible horizon consisting of a coloured liquid which has been tested to remain liquid down to -60° C. By the simple expedient of allowing a pair or wings to sprout at the pi- vot point of the turn Indicator needle the lateral relation of the machine can be represented against an imaginary horizon. Since this horizon is itself affected both by gravity and by cen- trifugal force, the pilot is given an cosity understood dingmutical; picture of the angular motion as well} as of the attitude of his machine,

While I was at Desford nerodrome last week, after he had had only half an hour or so of practice under the hood with Mr. G. Ei, Lowdell, the chief instructor of the Keid and Sigrist Reserve School, in the front seat, I watched Flt. Lt. H. A. Howes take off by itimself in a Tiger Moth, lower the tid, and proceed to carry out a series of very presentable slow rolls inter- spersed with odd-minutes of inverted flying.

The sensations cannot have been too pleasant when another machine was formating fairly close by-even though this machine was being down by Mr. Lowdell. Actually, FIL LA. Howes suffered a bad ten seconds or so when his engine blow back with such force that he felt convinced that the photographie machine had touch-

Paris, Apr. 23. 7 France can no niore, think of giving up her mandated territories than enn Great Britain, declared the Director of Mandated Territories Department, M. Truitard, in n broad- cast speech to-day.

M. Trustard quoted statistics which, he claimed, showed that since the Cameroons were placed under French mandate the territory had enjoyed a prosperity from which the natives had been the first to bènellt.

He added that during this period the number of nativeA in the Cameroons had increased by 300,000. There could be no question of ex- posing them to German racial theories, he insisted-Reuter.
