page 12 note (1) This figure includes a large increase in exports of aircraft; these are very variable, and were particularly large in the second quarter. Excluding aircraft, the increase was 9 per cent. But aircraft exports are likely to remain high for some time while world airlines complete their present re-equipment programmes.
