A Fine Testimonial
“ Undoubtedly one of the main assets of British aircraft is the British Certificate of Airworthiness, with the ' specified performances, which are recorded after official trials at the Air Minlstiy experimental stations. The Impartiality and accuracy of ihe reports of these two stations are itnimpeachab’e and they are based on the all-round performance oi an aeroplane ot one unit. Average rather than optimism figures are given, and the purchaser of subsequent aircraft of the same type has learnt now that nol only will that stated performance be realised in every producrion machine, but that it may even be exceeded. It is exceedingly | rare that any performance called lor in a foreign contract is not realised, and foreign Governments on many occasions have paid handsome compliments to the generous wav the British aircraft manufacturer interprets the conditions of his contract, the promptitude with which he gives deliveries on the specified dates, and the smooth way in which Bri'ish business is conducted. These same Governments, having had less happy experiences with other Continental firms, are better able to appreciate the straightforward methods of our own manufacturers, and this again is gradually influencing sales in other markets.”— Aeronautical correspondent of the “Times Trade and Engineering Supplement.”
