Extract

I feel deeply honoured to have received the Society's invitation to deliver the 46th Wilbur Wright Memorial Lecture. I undertook the task with humility in the light of the illustrious company who have preceded me but, more particularly, because of the greatness of the contribution of Wilbur Wright whom we honour tonight which, together with that of his brother Orville, continues to provide a tremendous inspiration to all concerned with aeronautics.
