Abstract

A SPECIAL exhibit, which has been formed by the Royal Aeronautical Society to mark the seventieth anniversary of its foundation, was inaugurated in the Science Museum, South Kensington, on the occasion of the Society's annual reception on May 21, and will be available to the public until June 22. The exhibit comprises aeronautical objets d'art, aeronautical trophies, medals, engravings, stamps and rare or unique articles connected with ballooning and aviation, many of which have been lent by private collectors. The Society will show the first Council Minutes (January 12, 1866) and MSS. relating to outstanding events in its history; the first pilot's certificate issued in Great Britain and granted to Lieut.-Col. J. T. C. Moore-Brabazon—now president of the Society—will be included.
