Extract

It is a sign of greatness in a man that he leaves footprints like those of Good King Wenceslas to guide and invite others to follow. Sir Frederick left his boldly in the Aircraft Industry, SBAC, Cranfield, Royal Aeronautical Society, Air Registration Board and many other places. Not in every place but in all those I have named he has been my Good King Wenceslas and I his page.

In this lecture I could choose to follow any one of these tracks but they are not divergent but criss-cross and intertwine with the result that in starting along one I may well switch onto another. The track I shall start to follow is aeronautics at Cranfield.
