HC Deb 14 November 1928 vol 222 c906W
Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether an appointment has yet been made of the responsible executive officer who will be in charge of the Schneider trophy team, 1929; and can he give the names of the high-speed pilots who have been selected for this team?

Sir S. HOARE

I am not ready to make any announcement on this subject, since selections have not been completed. Certain pilots have, however, been put under training on high-speed machines for the purpose of ascertaining their capabilities.
