Lord Londonderry (ex-Minister for Air), speaking at the Handley Page anniversary', attended by the Italian, German and Japanese air attaches, urged Britain to tell aggressor countries that if they were out for trouble Britain was quite prepared to fight. “I would like to see the doctrine advanced that we are not an easygoing people and tired of the browbeating we are getting from the totalitarian States.
