Abstract

IT was announced recently that Thorn Electrical Industries have been awarded a two‐year contract by the Air Ministry to supply all Royal Air Force airfields, in Britain and overseas, with the R.A.E.‐Thorn Visual Approach Slope Indicator. This follows orders for the system from civil airports in Britain, continental Europe, America and Africa, as well as for North Atlantic Treaty Organization and United States Air Force airfields in Europe. The Visual Approach Slope Indicator has been installed so far at approximately 60 airfields.
