LIGHT AEROPLANES
FLIGHT AROUND EUROPE BRITAIN A COMPETITOR. (British Official Wireleate) Press Association—By Telegraph —Copyright. RUGBY, December 31. The Royal Aero Club has decided that Great Britain shall enter in the great round-Europo light aeroplane touring competition initiated by the French Aero Club, and won last year by Germany. Last year Great Britain did not enter officially, and the British airmen who took part in the contest were obliged to enter through the French Aero Club, and they flew under the French flag. The German, Morbek, won the first prize of 100,000 francs, but a British pilot, Captain Broad, was awarded seconds place and a prize of 50,000 francs. Another British prize-winner was Miss Spooner. Both used Moth machines. The contest is restricted to aircraft of limited horse-power.
