36 FLIGHT, 8 January 1960 The New Year Honours CIVIL-LIST AWARDS IN AVIATION: INDUSTRY, AIRLINES AND THE MINISTRIES THOUGH a fair cross-section of theaeronautical scene is reflected in theNew Year Honours List, announced last week, there is the familiar—and in our view disappointing—lack of recognition of the work of test pilots. Nevertheless, news of several awards, particularly in the industry, will give general satisfaction: for example, the barony for Sir George Nelson, chairman of the English Electric Co Ltd, and the appointment of Rear Admiral Sir Matthew Slattery, chairman and managing director of Short Brothers & Harland Ltd, as KBE; and if the names of test pilots are lacking, there is at least recognition for an industrialist whose products have helped to save their lives—Capt Cyril Turner, the CB R. H. Weir, Director-General, EngineResearch and Development, MoA; F. Wood, Assistant Under-Secretary of State, Air Ministry. . ^ *. •»••:. _.-.._•--.• ORDER OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE KBE Rear Admiral Sir Matthew Slattery, chair-man and managing director, Short Brothers and Harland Ltd.
