4o FLIGHT, II January 1952 NEW YEAR HONOURS Recipients in the Aviation Community: A Further List of Names IAST week we published a brief list of the New Year Honours, which J had been announced as we went to press, while on our "Service Aviation" page we were able to give the names of the majority of R.A.F. recipients. On this page is a more detailed list of—mainly—civil honours, together with portraits of some of the senior officers named last week. Capt. O. P.

Two distinguished aeronautical scientists, Prof. Leonard Bairstow and Mr. D. R. Pye, receive Knighthoods.
