FLYING FOR AMATEURS.
NEW MACHINE'S SUCCESS. FOLDING WINGS METHOD. LONDON. Feb. »G. Expe r Is, in chid in g F1 igh t-Li eutcn ant Erie Harrison, aviation adviser in London to the Commonwealth Government,, are impressed by the successful trial of a remarkable De Haviland light aeroplane, designed for amateur flying, and regarded as especially suitable for the Dominions. The aeroplane is built with motor-car and motor-cycle fittings, with a 60-horse-power self-starting engine. It has dual controls, and the. wings fold, enabling the machine to be housed in an ordinary garage. The machine is so stable that it lands automatically. The Air Ministry will probably adopt it for aeroplane clubs.
