SCHNEIDER TROPHY ENTRANTS
BRITAIN ITALY AND FRANCE
SEAPLANES PREPARING
i British Official Wireless, j
RUGBY, Jan. 1. . Entries for the Schneider Trophy air race, which is to be flown over the Solent in September, dosed at midnight, last night. The competitors will be Britain, Italy and France. Britain wilt rely mainly on the seaplanes which took part in the 1939 race, two each of the Supemiarine S 6 and the Glon-cester-Napder VI. The seaplanes are now at Felixtowe, where they have been used in the past year to check the data obtained with models in wind tunnel tests. The Air Ministry is prepared to lend these on certain conditions, but the Government has announced that it will not again take charge of the British entry. The question of raising a team of pilots yor the British machines* is still under consideration.
