DOMINION JET PROPULSION SCIENTISTS BROADCAST.—Five of the young scientists and technicians from the dominions who have been engaged in the development of jet propulsion, recently took part in a British Broadcasting Corporation overseas programme on jet propulsion. This special broadcast dealt with the research on and the development of the gas turbine engine and the help given by these young Dominion scientists, in this connection, to British aircraft firms and to the Ministry of Aircraft Production. One result of this, work was the breaking of the world air speed record by Britain's fastest jetpropelled aircraft, the Gloster Meteor, at Herne Bay, in November, 1945, with a speed of 606 miles per hour. From left, the young experts who took part in the programme are: Group-captain G. E. Watt, A.F.C., B.E., University or New Zealand, from Matamata, Auckland, who is Deputy Director of Turbine Engines, Ministry of Aircraft Production, and has a permanent commission in the R.A.F.; Flight-lieutenant E. P. Bridgland, R.C.A.F., B.Sc. (Eng.), Toronto University; Captain E. W. Smith, South African Air Force, who was in the Western Desert, and is wearing his Africa Star; A. E. McCutchan, B.E. (Honours), University of New Zealand, from Auckland; A. R. Edwards, B. Met. Eng., Melbourne University.
