Extract

I would like to express my thanks to the Council of the Royal Aeronautical Society for inviting me to deliver this lecture. I am very happy that this honour has been extended to me: I am happy for myself, and also for my country, Barbados, one of the newest sovereign states, but one which has evolved with the British Commonwealth. Our relationship has existed since 1625 and apart from what I believe to be the first case of UDI in the British Colonial Empire in the Cromwell era, we have been stalwart members of the club.

In November 1966 Barbados became a sovereign state, the colonial days were over. From here on we have been a full member of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
