BRITISH CIVIL AVIATION
"NOT RESTING ON LAURELS." By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Aug. 27. In a comprehensive survey of the whole field of civil aviation and the manufacture of aircraft in Britain, for which by virtue of his status he was accorded: special facilities, Mr. Wiltshire,' a prominent official of the New South Wales Aero . Club, informed the Australian Press than he was greatly impressed by British enterprise in both spheres. “In fact, I am definitely of opinion,” ho eaid. “that British activities in both directions compare more than favourably with similar efforts in other countries. The manufacturers generally are not resting on their laurels but aim at even greater achievements in the near future.”
Manufacturers placed aeroplanes at the disposal of Mr. Wiltshire for an aerial test of the airports, and the Air Ministry gave him special facilities to visit the aerodynamic research centres, in recognition of his status in the Aero Club of New South Wales.
