Talk by Charles Gibbs-Smith commemorating the centenary of the death of Sir George Cayley (1773-1857)
As early as 1792 Sir George Cayley made a helicopter model, and by 1804 he had designed the first model glider. But his greatest contribution to the history of aviation was probably his formulation in 1799 of its basic problem, 'to make a surface support a given weight by the application of power to the resistance of the air.' In addition to his interest in aerodynamics he invented the caterpillar tractor and was a pioneer of railway safety devices, self righting boats, and the internal combustion engine.

Appeal on behalf of St. Martin-in-the-Fields' Christmas Fund by the Rev. Austen Williams
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to The Vicar, [address removed]
Every year the Vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields makes this Christmas appeal. It is an appeal by St. Martin's, but not an appeal for St. Martin's, for all the gifts received are distributed throughout the British Isles. Many people feel that Christmas is a time to make some personal gift to others who are in need. More than 20,000 people take part, as subscribers, distributors, or helpers, and by their efforts the spirit of Christmas is brought to thousands who otherwise might not know the joy of Christmas.

PART 3
Production by Robin Midgley and Val Gielgud
While Soames Forsyte is occupied with business affairs, Wilfred Desert , a rising young writer, tells Michael Mont that he is in love with his wife, Fleur. Michael has sufficient trust in Fleur to do nothing much about it, except to tell her that he knows. She assures him that there is nothing in it.
Meanwhile, Soames is building all his hopes round his beloved daughter, Fleur, but noticing her restlessness he suggests that she ought to have a child.
