NUFFIELD'S 5,000 'PLANES A YEAR

Once
MASS-PRODUCED FIGHTERS
(By A Special Correspondent)
London, June 1. Lord Nuffield plans to produce aeroplanes for the R.A.F. at a rate of 5,000 a year.
The Birmingham City Council is to consider an ap- plication on his behalf to purchase land for a factory at Castle Bromwich, which is at present scheduled for a housing scheme.
No doubts are entertained that the sale of the site will be sanctioned.
Lord Nuffield will then order the speedy erection of a factory devoted entirely to the production of air- frames of the very latest type, which will be fitted with Rolls-Royce engines.
The machines will be intercepter fighters of a type evolved only recently, and which has just passed its
official tests.
