254 FLIGHT SEPTEMBER 2ND, 194S of the aircraft listed in this week's tables, not only those which are taking part in the Farnborough Dis- play, but also others which, for various reasons, can- not be shown. This feature will thus cover the entire range of products of all British aircraft manu- facturers. Another section will review the whole of the ancillary industry, and its classification under different headings will facilitate reference to the specialist manufacturers of each particular class of product. In the third issue, dated September 16th, staff writers, artists and photographers will record the various events in the flying displays, and describe outstanding novelties seen in the static exhibition. That issue will be pro- fusely illustrated and will, in conjunction with the two previous issues, round out the picture of Britain's air- craft industry in 1948.
