' How the Aeroplane is Changing the World'
Nigel Norman
Tonight's talk will be of a general character, surveying the various social and economic changes which have been wrought by the aeroplane, and speculating as to future probabilities. Modern commercial advantages might be illustrated by the speed with which it is possible to write to and get a reply from Australia, while social change may be shown in predicted plans whereby week-ends in North Africa for Englishmen may shortly be a possibility.
Nigel Norman , himself an enthusiastic pilot, takes a keen interest in the effect of aviation on society. He was responsible for the construction of Heston Airport, which has been much praised as an example of forward-looking aerodrome design. The speaker is also chairman of the Aviation Committee of the London Chamber of Commerce.
