The thirty‐third annual report of the A.R.B.
Abstract
THE introduction to the thirty‐third annual report of the A.R.B. was written before the change of Government and Lord Kings Norton, Chairman of the Board, made a plea for its retention of a large measure of independence even if it was brought under the umbrella of a Civil Aviation Authority as had been recommended by the Edwards Report and the subsequent White Paper. He said that the A.R.B. strongly believed that a radical change of its constitution would render it less effective in the conduct of its airworthiness duties, which required careful technical judgement and a balance of view. The A.R.B. Council brought together a wide variety of talent and experience so arranged that no single interest predominated. The executive nature of the Council's function kept it in continuous touch with day‐to‐day activity and this participation was essential if account was to be taken of rapidly changing circumstances.
