BRITAIN LEADS IN AIRSHIP CONSTRUCTION.
MARKET EXPECTED FOR COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT. RUGBY, March 6. Air Vice-Marshal Sir W. S. Brancker, in a lecture last night, claimed that in airship construction it could honestly be said that Britain was ahead of the world. Speaking on air transport more generally, Sir W. Brancker said the main problem at present was to reduce the cost of operations, and make air transport pay. A very high standard of safety and a good standard of reliability had been reached. He prophesised a market amongst foreign nations for British commercial aircraft, as there had been in the past in connection with Britain’s shipbuilding industry.—British Official Wireless.
