‘British have More Planas ls revealed

LONDON, Jan. 2 -—(CP) — Lord Bcaverbrook, minister of aircraft production, said today that Britain iias "more planes in service mid more in reserve than ever before." and disclosed four new types ale Au production, three of them now flying.

‘I'm-y are the Manchester bomb- ei‘. the Sterling Bomb; the Whirl- wind fighter and the '1 ornado tight- er. He described the last named at a press conference as a “gem," and- “a most successful new fighter" with greatly increased range and speed.

The Manchester, Sterling and Wliirlilvind craft are in operation, Lord Beavcrbrook said. He gave no details of aimament or performance.

Little has been said about the Tornado, which Lord Beavertrook praised so highly. But the Press As- sociation said recently of the Whirl- wind tlint “it ls only one of the new type fighters and bombers which Britain will throw iiito the forthcoming bait-tie with the Ger- mans.”

The Whirlwind has been believed to be one of the fastest planes iii the world, but the Tornado may prove to be faster. Little can be said of the Whirhvlncl except that it incorporated latest designs and new fcaturrs. auci there is no doub‘. that. the Tornado. too. is the most. up-to-date fighting plane under construction.

Existence of the Tornado and the Whirlwind had been a well-kept war secret until now.
