TRADE AIR DISPLAY.
BRITAIN GUARDS SECRETS. A last-minute decision by the Air Ministry prevented thousands of visitors, including Air Force experts from many countries, from studying at close quarters certain bombing and fighting machines on view at the Trade Air Display held by the Society of British Aircraft Constructors at Hatfield aerodrome. No one was permitted to enter with a camera, and two bombers were withdrawn completely by official order. No reason has been given for the withdrawal, but it is assumed that the Air Ministry wishes the details kept secret of the latest and fastest of the units of the Royal Air Force. The Queen Wasp, the new target aeroplane, was roped off to prevent visitors from examining the controlling apparatus.
