On 18 January 1988 the aircraft industry celebrated the 100th birthday of Sir Thomas Sopwith.
This brilliant pioneer, who died last month, was noted for such famous aircraft as the Sopwith Pup, the Hawker Hurricane and the world's first jump jet, the Hawker Harrier, which proved so effective in the South Atlantic.
This tribute from those who knew and worked with Sir Thomas provides an insight into the man who was truly a founding father of the British aircraft industry. Sound PAUL CUNLIFFE

The Beaux Arts Trio play a work which is a special favourite of theirs - the Piano Trio in A minor by Maurice Ravel.
We've played the Ravel Trio between 500 and 800 times I would imagine, and each time we perform it there is something new to be found.

Championships from Vail. Will the Italian Olympic

The Bankrupt Ocean Britain's fishermen, especially the Scots, are facing a dire future as a result of new tighter quotas set by the EEC. The move has been prompted by evidence of over-fishing, with a steep fall in the numbers of adult fish which will breed to supply future generations. For fishermen this could mean ruin, as they struggle to pay the debts on their expensive new boats. Yet scientists have been warning of this danger for some years. Michael Robinson reports on the crisis in the industry, and the mismanagement of fishing stocks that has led to it.

Money: Sir Kit McMahon The City used to represent stability: now money hurtles along the switchback of a global economy with the speed of light, as dealers trade millions every second on their computerised screens. Michael Ignatieff explores the throw-away decade through the eyes of six leading players.
In the last programme he talks to Sir Kit McMahon , Chairman of the Midland Bank, who says:
'The real move is towards a three-second culture: it's difficult for institutions to resist the crowd, as the cost of being wrong with the crowd is much less than being wrong alone.'
