The Minister of Aviation has expressed his interest in the work of the Air Law Group of the Royal Aeronautical Society, and has offered his best wishes for its success. One of the valuable things about the Group is that it will provide a forum where problems of air law can be discussed, quite unofficially, by those responsible for advising the manufacturers, operators and insurers of aircraft, by those who act for travellers, and shippers by air, and by those whose duty it is to advise the Government on matters of civil aviation law. All this under the watchful eye of technical experts, who will ensure that legal doctrine does not stray too far from the realities of actual flying.
