past an aerodrome, with which Short Brothers were associated, he saw a strange four-motor machine standing on the ground.

It did not strike him as particularly big until his eyes suddenly focussed on a terrace of houses

Just behind it, "and," he said,

" completely dwarfed the houses and nearly bloited them out of the londscape."

Since then the Queen Elizabeth has done a lot of useful work and so have Short Brothers.

Now think how much better than the Hurricane the Tor- nado must be to con- vince the Air Ministry and the Ministry of Air craft Production that all the upset and the work of changing over to it is worth while.

That means millions of pounds spent on new jigs, new tools, new special materials and the trans- Jerence of millions (yes, reatly millions) of man-hours which might have been making more Hurricanes to the job of making Tornades,
