Northampton College of Advanced Technology, London: Historical Background, Academic‐Research Philosophy, Curriculum and Facilities of the Department of Aeronautics and Space Technology Available to Purchase

I AM delighted to dedicate my hundredth publication to a young and forward‐looking institution with clearly defined long‐term objectives and well considered determination to live up to the requirements of modern aeronautics and space technology— to the Department of Aeronautics and Space Technology (DEPAST) of the Northampton College of Advanced Technology. Unavoidably, I am looking at the DEPAST‐NCL, through the critical eyes of experience gained in the U.S.S.R., U.S.A., Germany, France, Holland and, of course, in Great Britain; and yet I feel I can say coram populo—coram publico that here we have something British, yet as dynamic and vigorous as any Continental or American educational/ research establishment known to me.
