FLIGHT, 13 September 1957 CIVIL AVIATION . . . 461 THE AIRLINES' SHOPPING LIST Correct to September 4,1957, excluding options but including certain government and executive orders THE latest version of Flight's specially compiled Airlines'Shopping List is given below, and it is illuminating to compare it with the last one, published in our May 3 issue. Since May, the total number of aircraft bought or ordered hasrisen by 125 to 1,479. The British industry's share of the increase in world business only amounted to 44 aircraft ordered, while 19cancellations reduced this to a net increase of 25. But for the timely entry of the Vickers VC-10 on the scene (with an orderfrom B.O.A.C. for 35), British manufacturers would have had a smaller slice of the cake. Two British companies whose order books have grown duringthe last four months are Bristol (Aeronaves de Mexico and Cubana Aviacion have each ordered two Britannias), and Vickers (with their B.O.A.C. order) and a net total of five more Viscounts.Other striking features of recent months' trading include the very considerable increase in orders placed with Sud-Est for theCaravelle, while Boeing have also done well, with new orders for 707s totalling 27. One more outstanding result to record is the steady progressof the Fokker and Fairchild Friendships. Orders for this aero- plane have risen from 76 to 109. For those interested in the way new business has been sharedbetween jets and turboprops during the past four months, the pendulum appears to have remained on the side of the jet. Of the96 medium and large turbine transports ordered since May, 10 were turboprops and 86 were jets.
