Here the first aircraft of the Iraqi order is seen at Luton in readiness for delivery at the end of this month. In all, over 400 Jet Provosts are already in service with the RAF and the air forces of Ceylon, Sudan, Kuwait and Venezuela Street, Maidenhead, Berks (Maidenhead 23621). Another meeting is the annual congress of Euroavia, at Imperial College, London, from September 6 to 11. Euroavia is an international body of aeronautics students, one of its chief aims being "to foster a spirit of co-operation among the future members of the aircraft industry." Plans for the congress period include a visit to the Show and another to the College of Aeronautics at Cranfield. Details from Mr C. J. Spurrier, 12Burcharbro Road, London SE2. Reverting to SLAET, the Society has announced that its Farnborough lecture this year will be given by Mr A. V. Cleaver, FRAes, Hon FBIS, chief engineer (rocket propulsion) of Rolls-Reyce. The title will be Future Aerospace Propulsion Systems, and it will be read in the RAE main assembly hall on Monday, September 7, at 7.30 p.m. Car-park labels may be obtained from the Maidenhead address given above. EEA's New Director Captain R. A. Villiers, CBE, AMIEE, RN (Ret), has been appointed director of the Electronic Engineering Association from August 31. For the past five years he has been director of the Scientific Instrument Manufacturers' Association and, con- currently, secretary of the Conference of the Electronics Industry. "FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL" AND THE SHOW Next Thursday onwards: three special SB AC Show numbers. Demand for these Show issues is always heavy, so advance orders to newsagents are advised. The greatly enlarged September 3 issue will sell at 2s. 6d, the other two at the normal price of Is. 6d. September 3—"Britain's Aircraft Industry":A specially illustrated review of British aircraft, spacecraft, missiles and engines, including aquick-reference directory to products. September 10—"Farnborough Report": Afirst-hand report on the aircraft and flying demonstrations at the opening of the Show. September 17—"Farnborough Review": Therest of the Show-week news and pictures, with a detailed survey of technical progress.Regular features will appear in this and the other two issues. Military Aircraft: an Amendment Owing to an error originating after page 286 in last week's issue was passed for press, three lines from page 287 were repeated on page 286. The correct sentence should have read "The corresponding US Navy aircraft, the T-2 Buckeye, has this year been put back into production in twin-engined form." The Conference Season Perhaps because aeronautically interested People who are normally widely scattered about the country tend to gravitate to- wards the Home Counties at the Farn- borough Show period, September is always a popular month for conferences of various aeronautical organizations. Among such meetings which have been notified is the First International Con- ference of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, sponsored by the Society of Licensed Air- craft Engineers and Technologists and taking place at the Royal Aeronautical Society, 4 Hamilton Place, London Wl, from Monday, September 14, to Wednes- day, September 16. Mr F. A. Laker, the Society's president, is to open the con- Vjrenee, and speakers will include Mr R. E. Hardingham, secretary and chief executive of the ARB. Details are obtainable from the secretary-general of SLAET at 1 High All Lit Up and nowhere to go: this realistic "semi-working model" of the German JV./ has been constructed at MGM's Borehamwood, Herts, studios for the film "Operation Crossbow," which tells the story of the flight against Hitler's secret weapons. The director is Michael Anderson, who made "The Dam Busters"
