«_~_e o Coming down to earth . .. you'll need Rubery Owen independent suspension .I Towing is so smooth on a Rubery Owen independent suspension. The torsion hars give 4 inches of independent movement to each wheel and the whole unit allows a lower centre of gravity fo'r e~ceptional roadholding and easier towing. Independent suspension makes a world of difference to towing. Fit a Ru1>ery Owen axle to your trailer. 378 RUBERY OWEN & CO.

lost. An urgent plea over the radio from Mary-Pen my wife "not to give up" turned despair into determination. Turning my back on the only landable field ·in view, I selected a housing ,estate as a possible thermal source with its chimney, slag heap and all. Slight flickers of green and red were small cncouragement, but the unenviable thought of dropping in for tea in the parlour spurred me on. Never have I worked so hard. The flicker of green like willo'-the-wisp led me all round the houses, until finally after what seemed like an age, probably only 30 minutes, I made a complete circle in half a foot per second. Ten minutes later at 1,500 feet it was in the bag. I was one hour behind Chris Riddell, but ~vertheless safely home despite being drenched with perspiration. We then watched the later arrivals, Mike Armstrong's being the most spectacular I ever wish to see, as he cleared a housing estate, mine workings, a railway line and finally the boundary with inches to spare, nearly carrying a tr.actor driver over the line with him. To think I'd chickened out at 1,200 feet over Tick Hill! Being only 137 poInts in the lead, the final day dawned with nel'"ves at a stretch. A task was set, but after fruitless searching by everyone it started to rain and No Contest was declared. And so the competition ended. All praise be to the task-setters, Brian Jefferson, Mick Kaye and Bernard Thomas, for some magnificent tasks under difficult conditions, which in normal circumstances would never have been flown.
