To the Editor, DEAR SIR, In a letter, which has just come to my notice, published in your October 1951 issue, Mr A. V. Cleaver advocates the use of sub‐orbital refuelling techniques as a means of rendering interplanetary flight an economic proposition, and suggests that the importance of this factor was underestimated in the above paper which was reprinted in your August issue.

Abstract
DEAR SIR, With reference to Mr. Andrews's interesting article in the December issue of Aircraft ENGINEERING, there appears to have been some error in the constant used in equation (18). The text gives a value of 60,000, but the correct value would appear to be 83,100 (=36,900/.444)

Abstract
GOVERNMENT by leak has become such a well‐established part of governmental practice in the last year or so that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, or if fact is to become fiction. In the case of the reports that we were to withdraw from Eldo, the European Launcher Development Organisation, it seems that it was a case of fiction, and not fact. Mr Wilson has announced that an inquiry is to be held into the source of the reports. At the time the news had all the appearance of authenticity, supported by a Foreign Office statement that said: ‘For some time the Government has had serious doubts about whether or not it should continue to participate in the Eldo programme. These doubts are centred on financial, technical and economic assessments of the initial programme.’

Abstract
APPLICATION of the so‐called high energy liquid fuels and high energy liquid oxidizers to power plants based on the jet propulsion principle is receiving the increasing interest and attention of rocket propellant chemists and power plant engineers universally. The aspect of substantially increased—as much as 50 per cent— energy per pound of propellant load or per cubic foot of propellant tankage over today's propellants has whetted scientific appetites and justified probing the field of high energy chemicals to determine, as logically and as practically as we can at the present time, the gains, problems, limitations and applications of these higher energy chemicals. The object of this paper is, in a general way, to discuss the subject of chemical rocket propellants in such a way that the following five questions will be, in part at least, answered or recalled to the minds of this audience for additional deliberation.
