asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the Royal Air Force squadron which recently made the Cairo-Cape-Cairo flight is to take part in the air display on Saturday next; and whether any of the latest experimental machines, and, if so, what kind, are to be included in the display?

Sir P. SASSOON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second, 16 of the latest experimental aeroplanes will appear in the display; they include the following types :—Single-seater Fighter, Army Cooperation, Day Bomber, Night Bomber and Coastal Torpedo Landplane, Seaplane and Deck-Landing Training, Civil Transport and Research types.

Captain BRASS

Has any special recognition been given to the officers and the men for this magnificent flight?

Sir P. SASSOON

That does not arise out of the question on the paper.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Will there be any example of the helicopter seen?
