B. Morgan, C.B., M.A., F.R.Ae.S., Deputy Controller of Aircraft (R & D), Ministry of Aviation; “Blind and Automatic Landing,” introduced by Mr. R. C. Morgan, O.B.E., F.R.Ae.S., Chief Project and Development Engineer, B.E.A.; “Engineering Problems of Supersonic Transport,” introduced by Mr. Charles Abell, O.B.E., F.R.Ae.S., M.S.L.A.E., Chief Engineer, B.O.A.C; and “Engineering Problems of the Jet Flap and STOL Aircraft,” introduced by Mr. W. E. Rhoades, B.S., Vice-President, Engineering, United Air Lines.Opening the meeting Mr. Shenstone said that the Symposium was part of an Airline Chief Engineers Conference. This first day was open to anyone but the following two days would be confined to discussions among the specially invited airline delegates. He then outlined the programme for the first day and suggested that the discussions should consider the general problems of airline development rather than detailed domestic problems.The following report of the contributions to the Symposium was prepared by Mr. R. H. Whitby, B.Sc, A.R.C.S., D.I.C., F.R.Ae.S., Performance and Analysis Manager, B.E.A.

The 1,158th lecture to be given before the Society, “Engines for Supersonic Air Liners” by Dr. R. R. Jamison, B.Sc., F.R.Ae.S., A.R.I.C. and Mr. R. J. Lane, Diploma of Graduate Studies (Birmingham), G.I.Mech.E., of Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd., was given on 24th March 1960, at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1 Birdcage Walk, London, S.W.I. The Chair was taken by Air Commodore F. R. Banks, C.B., O.B.E., C.G.I.A., F.R.Ae.S., Hon.F.I.A.S., M.I.Mech.E., M.Inst.Pet., Vice-President of the Society.Introducing the lecturers, Air Commodore Banks said that after receiving his education at the South African College and the University of Cape Town, Dr. Jamison joined Rolls-Royce in 1937 and had remained with that Company until 1950, when he joined Bristol Aero-Engines Ltd.–now Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd. He was Assistant Chief Engineer and Head of the Ram-jet Department and since 1950 had been working on ram-jet development. He and his team were regarded as the specialists in this country–and probably in Europe– on controllable ram-jets. Mr. Lane, joint author with Dr. Jamison of the lecture, had graduated from the University of Birmingham and had served his apprenticeship at the Royal Ordnance Factory before joining Bristols. He was now working on ram-jet dynamics and gas-dynamics of ram-jets with Bristol Siddeley Engines Ltd.

The main purpose of this article is to present the most important conditions and variables characterizing the role of the Middle East in Yugoslavia’s foreign policy strategy in the 1970s, based on available literature and documentation. I also intend to analyze the conditions that contributed to intensifying Yugoslavia’s position in the region and led to a decrease in Yugoslavia’s importance in the Middle East in the second half of the decade. Firstly, I will describe Yugoslavia’s relations with the countries of the Middle East in 1970–1973, especially with Egypt, where Gamal Abdel Nasser, after his death, was succeeded by the country’s Vice President, Anwar Al-Sadat. It will also be important to shed light on the Yugoslav Government’s stance regarding the Middle East conflict from the point of view of the situation in Europe. Next, I will present the significance of the Yom Kippur War for Yugoslavia’s foreign policy and its implications for Belgrade’s relations with Cairo and Tel-Aviv. Moreover, it will be extremely important to explain why Yugoslavia’s importance in the Middle East gradually diminished as of the middle of the decade. In addition, I will address the issue of Yugoslav President Josip Broz-Tito’s position toward the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the fading of Yugoslavia’s interest in the region following Tito’s death and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In the summary, I want to note that the period under analysis in Yugoslav-Middle Eastern relations was decisive for the country’s foreign policy and its internal situation, as Yugoslavia never again played a significant role in the Arab world.

This treatise opens with a small question: Why Sutan Sjahrir married Poppy Saleh Mengundiningrat in Cairo, Egypt in the 1950s and did not in Jakarta? Poppy was studying at the London School, England and Sjahrir in Jakarta, the two then flew to Cairo and married there, witnessed by Soedjatmoko, a child of revolution, which is also a leading intelligentsia and political cadre of Sjahrir. Apparently, the First Prime Minister of the Republic of Indonesia, Sutan Sjahrir had a speck of history in the Middle East during the war of independence 1945-1949, which makes its way to Egypt to meet with the Arab leaders, fighters, intellectuals, activists and warriors. Sjahrir even met Hassan al-Bana, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood persistent against colonialism and imperialism in the Muslim world, especially the Middle East. Sjahrir asked the Arab world to mobilize supports for the independence of Indonesia. Sjahrir known as the Socialists that grow from the Minangkabau world and the Western-educated to find a foothold in the Middle East struggle to carry out a diplomatic mission of the President Soekarno and Vice President M. Hatta, for the people of Indonesia. We should remember and recall, Sjarir as a hero, eventhough he is almost forgotten by this nation.
