NEW YEAR HONOURS WITH the notable exception of Rear-Admiral M. S. Slattery, chairmanof Short Bros, and Harland, Ltd., the New Year Honours List is a disappoint- ing one so far as the aircraft manufacturing industry is concerned. Admiral Slattery (a photograph of whom appears on page 3) receives a knighthood. Names of a comparatively few members of companies closely associated with the aircraft industry appear in the list—Sir William Fraser, chairman of the British Petroleum Co., Ltd. (formerly Anglo- Iranian), and Mr. Leonard Sinclair, chair- man of Esso, may be mentioned in this connection—but the majority of honours noted below go to members of the minis- tries. Among them is Dr. O. G. Sutton, Director of the Meteorological Office, who receives a knighthood. As regards honours in the military division of the Honours List, names of some senior R.A.F. recipi- ents are given on the "Service Aviation" pages this week, and further names will appear in that section next week.
