Extract

The 890th Lecture to be given before the Royal Aeronautical Society was held at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Storey's Gate, London, S.W.I, on 12th November 1953, and was presided over by Sir William Farren, C.B., M.B.E., M.A., F.R.S., F.R.Ae.S., President of the Society. Introducing the lecturer, Sir William said that Mr. Wimpenny had been with the de Havilland Company throughout his career in aviation and had been responsible for some years for the design and development of stability and control of the de Havilland aircraft, including the Comet, so that clearly he spoke with a wide knowledge of his subject.
