britisn record tS the air
During the Air Ministry's trials at
Martlesham the big . twin-ongihed
tractor-biplane Centaur 2A flew for
25 minutes with controls locked. The
competition only called for a flight
of five minutes uncontrolled, during
which period the machine proved
herself so stable that Mr F. B. Good-
l\vin Castleman, the pilot, decided to
itest her out. For 25 minutes he left
the machine to fly itself with controls
| locked, during which time she flew
straight and maintained her height.
