Britain Lags in Air Enthusiasm
ATTACK ON MINISTRY
“OFFICIAL REFRIGERATOR” By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 11.5 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. The newspaper “Observer.” in an editorial, examines American enthusiasm over the recent trans Y antic flights and condemns British backwardness in civil aviation, which is attributed to “our official refrigerator,” otherwise the Air Ministry, which allow'ed Carr and Gillman to return from the Persian Gulf unwelcomed and unhonoured. “Our aerial ought to match our naval reputation,” the “Observer” states, “yet other countries do not consider us a first-rank flying nation. The Air Ministry’s spirit is too military and imposes cramping restrictions on design and enterprise in civil flying.” Out of eighty world’s air records Great Britain holds not one, yet business orders follow records. For instance, Canada is ordering airplanes from the United States. —A. and N.Z.
