NEW STORM

Planes, Guns;-

British Equipment . To Help Finland

--_____-

loNDON, Feb. 3i -(OP) -Brit- ish bombers and fighting planes, among them some Gloster "gladia- tor" lighters, one of the latest rand best types, already are in Finland to help the Finns against Russian air raiderl which have been bomb-

lng the country in swamrs.

It was disclosed au tonight that between the British planes had reached the

hard-pressed Firms and more are

on the way, e. total of X44 hav- ing been released to Finland.

(The Gloster "gladiator." as de- scribed in Jane's work on world aircraft, is a single- scnt. equal-span biplane powered with one Bristol “Mercury IX" pitta-cylinder radial air-cooled and stipcrcliarged engine. It has machine guns mounted in troughs i11 the sides of the fuselage and two ntounted below the lower o-ing, firing outside the propeller rtirlius. The plane is rated a max‘.- nnun speed of 250 miles an hour at 15.500 feet. can climb 20,000 fe-“t in ninc minutes and has a service ceiling of 32.800 feet. It has full day nnd night flying equipment, oxygen equipment, and transmit-ting and receiving radio. Similar pktnes have been supplied to Scandinavian CIllUIiFiPS, Belgium. Portugal and ot-ilcr‘ foreign purchasers.)

which has zone to the eludes tanks, field guns, guns, anti-tank guns with ammuni- tion, telephones, anti-gas supplies and clothing.

(A thousand Hungarian volun- ers going through Paris today en Finland reported that 10,- 000 others are getting ready to leave Hungary. Most of the Hun- garians, equipped with clothing m- sembllng ski outfits. have had mili- tary service They were travelling by way of London.)

It was pointed out here that one of the difficulties of sending vol- unteers to aid Finland is the ne- cessity of obtaining consent of Norway and Sweden to al‘ow them to cross their territory. Thus far the Scandinavian countries have accepted this volunteer traffiu which has been relatively small.

The fi:st large group of British volunteers for the Finnish armv will leave London shortly. Britain has consented to recruiting by Fin- land in this country.

British equipment slated for Fin- land includes 150 anti-tank rifle. 10.000 anti-funk mines 50.000 hand grenades, 25 howiizers, 100 ma- chine-zuns. 24 anti-aircraft guns, 30 field guns. four six-ton tanks. 12 six-inch guns, 10 titres-inch moriaxs and ammunition for the artillery.
