More than half the aluminium which thousands of householders gave towards war production has been turned into the manufacture of aeroplanes. “The rest” stated Mr R. A. Layton-Bennett, chairman of the Aluminium Appeal Committee “will be ready to take to the sky at the end of January.” About 500 tons of aluminium pots and pans from army kitchens—sufficient for 500 planes —will almost immediately, it is stated, be handed over by the War Office to the Ministry of Aircraft Production
