FIGHTING ’PLANES
" CONSTRUCTION IN AUSTRALIA. CONSIDERATION BY MINISTRY. SUBSIDISED COMPANIES. ; "hated Press Association—Copyright) CANBERRA, December 23. It is reliably reported that the Commonwealth Government is considering the manufacture in Australia of fighting aircraft of the latest British design. The Minister of Defence (Mr Parkhill) recently indicated that the Commonwealth intended to develop all branches of the defence forces. He has, however, ascertained that the British firms are unable to give speedy delivery to Australian orders for fighting aircraft owing to the rush of orders from other countries. He is- thus impressed with the case for manufacture in Australia of fighting aircraft, preferably by private aviation companies, subsidised by tho Government, which could set up the special organisation necessary for the building of both Government and commercial aircraft.
