FLIGHT, 23 August 1957 253 Commonwealth Aviation I9S7 WIDESPREAD facilities, contrasting problems, a common enthusiasm and high level of ability—all these are reflected in this year's Commonwealth aviation scone. On the manufacturing side, the main subject of this special issue, Canada's complex and vigorous industry reports steady progress and a widening of activity—plus recurrent problems of fluctuating levels of production. Australia's decision to work closely with the U.8.A. has still not been followed by a statement on the country's major defence programme—that for a fighter to replace the Avon Sabre. Australian aircraft- industry manpower has been drastically reduced over the past twelve months, and the industry is marking time. In India, by contrast, the manufacture of aircraft and engines is an expanding business. Other aspects of the aviation scene reported in this issue include the progress of Australia's air transport, which continues to thrive; the activities of the Weapons Research Establishments in South Australia; and the operations of some of the Commonwealth Air Forces. The overall picture is of a considerable contribution to the world's total aeronautical effort It is a contribution of which too little is generally known.
