The Blair Atholl Aeroplane Syndicate, Ltd., 1, Queen Victoria Street, London, E.C. School: Eastchurch. In 1906 Lieut. Dunne was employed by the British Army authorities for secret aeroplane experiments. He had at that time patented a monoplane of < type. In 1907 _Dunne I_ was tried on the Duke of Atholl's estate in Scotland, but failed to fly, being smashed on the starting apparatus. _Dunne III_, a glider, 1908, was experimented with successfully by Lieut. Gibbs. In the same year _Dunne IV_, a larger power driven edition made hops of 50 yards or so. Early in 1910 the War Office abandoned the experiments. _Dunne II_, a triplane of 1906 design, was, by consent of the War Office, assigned to Prof. Huntingdon, who made one or two short flights with it at Eastchurch in 1910. At the same time the above syndicate was formed, and _Dunne V_, built by Short Bros., was completed in June, 1910. In 1912-13 the Huntingdon, modified, was flying well. [Illustration]
