Sir Ar- chibald Sinclair referred in terms the of gratitude to the gifts for purchase of aircraft which have been received from the Colonies and in conclusion addressed those who are coming from overseas to join in the war in air, saying: “Let me say to those of you who are coming-you will be équipped with the finest types of aircraft in the world to-day. You will meet a brave, skilful foe, but one over whom our men have already gained undivided ascendance. You will be welcomed into the com- [radeship of the R.A.F. and you will fight to rid the world of the vile, pitiless tyranny of Nazi Germany and restore to our own people and. to the suffering peo ples of Europe the blessings of freedom and peace. · British Wireless..
