Can Fire at 40 Knots

By ANDREW KIDD

"MOSQUITO" speedboats, heavily armed with tor-

pedoes, have been delivered to the British Navy. They will revolutionise future warfare.

The boats are called "mosquitoes" because they sting and fly away. Their badge is the Flying Scorpion.

Mr. Hubert Scott-Paine, holder of the salt-water speed re- cord for single-engined boats, is the man behind the new speed-- boat battleships.

Mr. Scott-Paine is employing 1,500 men at Southampton on the construction of these wonder boats that dart across the water at 45 miles an hour,

The Admiralty has just placed with his frm an order for nine motor torpedo boats, to bring the total up to 18.
