Of horseplay.. Near the entrance

rugged up a sort of ladder-like
contraption to show off a new
kind of pilot-ejection seat. A
slim young man straps himself
gingerly into the seat at the
bottom Of the ladder then
reaches up and yanks a lever
over his head. There is a STAR
ting bang and the young man,

80 feet up the ladder. If this
were the real thing, he would
be hurting through the air at
several hundred miles an hour,
leaving his stricken plane and
reaching for the ripcord of his
parachute. The humor, perhaps,
is little grim. Some one brings
up the almost limitless peace

duction yet. Many are prototype
models--hand- built experimental
planes going through the long
and exacting tests that all new
aircraft must endure.
There are exceptions. Over
here is the long. sleek fuselage
of Britain's most formidable Jet
fighter plane. the Hawker Hunt
er. The Hunter has long since
passed its acceptance tests for
the Raj. It has also become one
of the most valuable assets for

nearly $500 million worth of
Hunters have already come in
from NATO countries to round
out their air defenses.
Airlines' White Hope.
Down at the end Of the ramp
you spot the white hope Of the
commercial airlines-the turbo-
prop Vickers Viscount-first for
eign built plane ever to crack
the American market. The max
ers are confident that the first
order from Capital Airlines for
40 of the fast, four-motored
passenger planes is only the be-
ginning. And close by parked
side by side are two later models
of the Comet-more hopeful
versions of Britain's greatest
disappointment in its early
pioneer attempts at jet trans
portation.
The interest Of the experts,
however, seems to center mostly
on the new fighting planes: The
huge, bat-like delta-wing hulk
of the Vickers Valiant and it's
crescent-winged companion piece
the Avro Vulcan night-bomber.
These four-engine jets are the
future punch of Britain's stra-
tegic air arm-planes capable of
delivering atomic bombs deep
into enemy territory and getting
home again. In striking con-
trast to the bombers of World
War II, neither the Vulcan nor
the Valient carry guns. Safety
in a new air war, it seems, is a
question Of speed and altitude.

FARNBOROUGH, England -
Sitting on a grassy English hill
side, listening to the roar of SUI
personic thunder and watching
the latest-model military and
commercial planes go through
their PAGES, you are almost will
ing to concede the moral of this
worlds greatest air show: That
when it comes to designing flying
machines, the British are out in
front of the competition and go
ing strong.
Judging from the weird assort-
ment of aircraft assembled here.
flying saucers are definitely old
hat. Future watchers of the sky,
it seems, will also have to put
up with flying hotdogs, flying
triangles and planes with flap
ping wings.
Farnborough-the annual air.
show of the British Aircraft in
dustry-is frankly commercial
proposition. Each year, with an
astounding lack of military Sec
recy. the industry takes over this
great experimental air base near
London to trot out the latest
thing in fighters, bombers and
passenger carrying transports.
It's a kind of fashion show in the
highly competitive business Of
selling airplanes to a speed-con-
scious and security-minded world.
And each year, aircraft experts
from all over flock to Farnbo-
rough to see what the British are
up to.

The Civil Service Commission
