2. _Practical._--This, in addition to flight, consists of dismounting

and replacing parts of aeroplanes and aerial motors, all general repairs, erecting hangars and aerial photography. The school possesses nine hangars, of which three are Bessonneau type, three wooden, and three metal. For 1913 the sum of L20,000 is to be expended for purchase of aeroplanes and the establishment of aerial squadrons at Antwerp, Liege, and Brasschaet. These are organised into six squadrons of four units each. The full complement of each squadron is eight aviators, fifteen to 20 mechanics, etc., and six citizen soldiers. The question of hydro-avions for the Congo is under consideration. ~AVIATORS.~ (The number against any name is, unless otherwise stated, the Ae. C. Belgique pilot certificate number.) Military.

Built in 1912. A monoplane that flew very well at camp of Casteau Aerodrome during May--October. ~Motor.~--25. h.p. type Morane. New designs in wing construction, landing chassis, etc. A. BRACKE (formerly Bracke, Missyon & Co.), Casteau, Mons. In 1910, constructed the first aeroplane built by a Belgium firm--a monoplane with planes at 120. This machine has not been duplicated: but the firm have since built machines to private specifications. The only firm which has in Belgium the speciality of aeronautical patents. DE BROUCKERE, 23 rue Joardens, Brussels. Biplane. H. Farman. type. Built in 1911, modified in 1912. DE LA HAULT Adhemar de la Hault, 214 rue Royale, Brussels. In 1906, built a flapper of novel design. This was followed in 1910, by a machine on monoplane lines with one fixed plane and two flapping wings. This failed to fly, and in August, 1911, was altered into a biplane. It did not succeed, however. M. Hault is still pursuing the ornithopter question. HAREL I. Biplane. ~Length.~--49-1/4 feet (15 m.) ~Surface.~--344-1/2 sq. feet (32 m squared.) ~Weight.~--771 lbs. (350 kgs.), flying order. Warping wings. Monoplane tail. ~Motor.~--50 h.p. Gnome, mounted just under and forward of the upper wing. ~Tractor.~--1 Chauviere. Elevator placed 1 in front and 1 in rear, _H. Farman_ style. Rudders, 2 in rear. Completed May, 1911. For further details see _Conquete de l'Air_, July 1st, 1911. Property of M. Van der Stegen. WILLIAMS. Biplane. ~Motor.~--70 h.p. E.N.V. Generally of headless _Voisin_ type on a _Farman_ body. Completed 1911. Has flown fairly well. BELGIAN DIRIGIBLES. Military. ~1910.~
