That con cludes the environmental evidence on which the United States Government will not decide not to ban Concorde purely on grounds of jealousy, I think. Will that be all? Anglo-French workers' delegation This aircraft means work for us, mate, and if you ban it we shall have to report the matter to our executive committee. The lads in the upholstery shops are already refusing to watch "Hawaii Five-O." US spokesman The views of the United States Government will not be swayed by emotional appeals to the need for solidarity among the western democracies in a world increasingly threatened by the forces of authori tarianism . . . ah, I gotta go now— the lousy Soviets want Tu-144 landing rights. • News is just coming in that my old friend Rollo Freelunch is dieting after his heavy Christmas workload. He tells me he's lost so much weight that he will soon be able to travel as his own free baggage allowance. "The Daily Telegraph," December 3 The Bloodhound was abandoned under defence cuts because of its certain destruction ' of intruders into British air space. Plea for helicopter controls "Express and Star," Wolverhampton, October 9 SOCIETY OF POTTERS BAR PLANEMAKEKS An Announcement A-A-A-GH grunt mutter THUMP e-e-ek splutter gulp WAM POW ZAP silly old Beswick A-A-AGH.

Must be a good baritone. • Top Kneddy: Get me the chairman of the Wizard Planes Company. Bottom Neddy: I'm sorry Sire, he plays golf on Wednesdays. Top Kneddy: I thought he was an industrialist, not an airline pilot. • I see that Pioneer 10, according to our Spaceflight pages, is on its way to Pluto heading towards Aldebaran, and "will reach the vicinity of this conspicuous winter's evening star in two million years' time." Place your order now with your newsagent to avoid disappointment. I wonder whether Pioneer's arrival will make our Private Flight pages.
