AUGUST 2ND, 1945 FLIGHT Advertisements, TT AT OUR V.E. CELEBRATION the Managing Director said: K Specialists in Lightweight, Pneumatic and Electric Portable Tools. JHL'rmm! H'rmm! At a moment when almost every- one is congratulating either himself or somebody else on something or other, it gives me great pleasure to recall each and all of us to a sense of proportion. (A voice: Gertcher !) It may be true that no aircraft made in this country during the War has been constructed without the help of our tools. Is that a matter for congratu- lation? Yes! Is it a matter for boasting? No! My friends — for I will not call you workers—(loud laughter). I estimate that if all the holes made during the War by Desoutter Drill guns in all the aircraft in all the factories in Britain were melted into one huge hole, that hole would still fit comfortably inside a single hole made by a single one of our 22,000 lb. bombs dropped on Germany by a single aircraft on a single night. W'ith a proper sense of humility therefore, let us all return without delay to our drawing boards and benches. A voice: " Three cheers for the Guv'nor." A glum silence followed. DESOUTTER BROS. LTD. (DEPT.B ), THE HYDE, HENDON, LONDON, N.W.9. Telephone-: COUNDALE 6346-7S-9. Telegrams: DESP/NuCO, HYDE. LONDON CRC. 151-
