They don't have the sense or good manners to cancel their littlemessage! Believe it or not, they actually get more annoyed if the ATCO does as they requested him to do. "Naturally, anyone in his senses would think this far-fetched.'''As the Ministry of Aviation is not a judicial body they can't under- stand that reports on these stupid irresponsible actions should besent to the Director of Public Prosecutions. "What can we do. .." to help the private flier in this country?Surely the answer is obvious: Don't joke about it; shoot P.P.O. and his cronies; and educate the others who need it.

The climb is maintained, too, in the January-July figure, an-nounced since the graph was prepared. The total for that period, £95m, was some £8m more than for the corresponding period in1960. Dollar sales accounted for £39m of the total. Sale of engines and parts, amounting to more than £50m, exceeded by £6m the1960 record total for the seven-month period. The total of £95,016,650 was made up as follows: aircraft and parts, £39,951,809; engines and parts, £50,763,269 (a record figure); electrical equipment, £2,129.220; instruments, £1,611,204; tyres, £561,148. Leading customers were Canada, which spent £13,400,944 on aircraft and £11,245,726 on engines; and the United States, with £4,621,402 on aircraft and £9,886,789 on engines. The July exports figure was £12,207,312, made up as follows: aircraft and parts, £5,207,485; engines and parts. £6,334,079; instruments, £304,140; electrical equipment, £302,307; tyres, £59,301.
