THE purpose of this article is to indicate the developments in aircraft that have appeared since the first post-war S.B.A.C. Display of 1946. Now is perhaps the time to pause and consider progress in British aviation, particularly as the first turbo-jet air liner, the Comet, has entered service, the first turbo-propeller aircraft, the Viscount 700, is being manufactured in quantity, and production orders have been placed for the Hawker Hunter swept-wing fighter and the Gloster G.A.5 Delta. These aircraft represent a few of the British types evolved in the post-war period and demonstrate aeronautical advancement.
