Abstract
WHEN an exhibition of German aircraft was held last autumn at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, the Minister of Aircraft Production, Mr. John Wilmot, was convinced that the display should also be made available to the general public as soon as possible, at a central site. As a result, an exhibition of German aeronautical developments will be held under the auspices of the Ministry of Education at the Science Museum, South Kensington, commencing February 14. The exhibition will be open on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays from 2.30 p.m. to 6 p.m. for three months. The exhibits are selected from those shown at Farnborough. They comprise a number of typical German military aircraft, including a jet-propelled fighter, flying bomb, the gyro-kite for use with U-boats, a piloted VI, a V2-rocket and radio-controlled rocket weapons. The exhibition coincides with the post-war reopening of the Science Museum for, in addition, the museum also has a series of exhibitions relating to atomic energy, X-rays and the quartz crystal clock.
