Extract

A meeting of the Royal Aeronautical Society was held in the rooms of the Royal Society of Arts, John Street, Adelphi, London, W.C.2, on Thursday, October 18th.

The President (Colonel the Master of Sempill): Dr. Schutte, the President of the German Aeronautical Society, had stated that his Council had scanned the list of lectures to be delivered to the Royal Aeronautical Society during the present session, and had come to the conclusion that Mr. Sutton’s lecture was from their point of view one of the most interesting. That indicated how very closely they were following the Society’s work, and how extremely interested they were in the problem of corrosion. Having in view the increasing popularit} in this country of marine type aircraft, the investigations of light alloys assumed ever greater importance than previously, if that were possible.

He was sorry to be compelled to leave the meeting early in order to represent the Society at a function of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and he asked Mr. Pye (Deputy Director of Scientific Research), Air Ministry, acting for Major H. E. Wimperis (Director of Scientific Research), to preside.
