  • The list of the Wilbur Wright lecturers is a long and distinguished one, and I feel it a great honour to have been asked to join this eminent company. I was invited just before Christmas, 1939, to address you to-night on the future of British civil aviation. I felt then that though only with great difficulty would it be possible to produce a lecture under war conditions, the invitation must be accepted, firstly because no greater compliment can be paid an aeronautical engineer, and secondly, to support the Council's policy of continuing the Wilbur Wright lectures, which were not interrupted by the last war, through this one.
