Extract

The Fourteenth Louis Bleriot Lecture “ The Development of Short Range Air Transport through the use of V/STOL Aircraft,” by General Henri Ziegler, General Manager, S. A. Louis Breguet, was given before a distinguished audience which included a number of visitors from France, on 23rd March 1961 in the Society's Lecture Theatre.

The President, Dr. E. S. Moult, C.B.E., B.Sc.(Eng.), F.R.Ae.S., M.I.Mech.E., presided at the meeting. Before the formal proceedings the names of 17 members elected to Fellowship of the Society since December 1960 were read by the Secretary. (These names were published in the January, February and March JOURNALS—Ed.)

After congratulating the new Fellows, Dr. Moult said that this was one of those great occasions of the Society when they united with their friends from France to revere the memory of Louis BleYiot, the first aviator to cross the Channel. This was on the 25th July 1909; since then, they would agree, great things had happened in the field of aeronautics.
