rightly done,however humble,is noble.”  \nHenry Royce  \nOn behalf of the Air Council I desire to express our profoundregret at the death of Sir Henry Royce and the termination ofhis long and distinguished association with the work of theAir Ministry in peace and war.His death will be a serious lossto British aviation as well as to his firm to which I wish to conveyour sincere sympathy.LoRD LONDONDERRY,Secretary of State for Air  \nAn even greater contribution than his work on the internalcombustion engine is the setting up and the maintaining of ahigh standard of efficiency with which he was always associated,and I think his example might be a good lesson to everyonein the present and rising generations.I was always very muchstruck by his intense simplicity,and his great desire to learn.  \nF.HANDLEY PAGE.  \nI cannot tell you how sorry I was to hear of the great loss yourfirm has suffered in the death of Sir Henry Royce.I think hewas the most outstanding personality I have ever met and likemany other great men he has surrounded himself with trustylieutenants who will carry on his work for years to come.  \nT.O.M.SoPWITH.  \nFew men of his generation have contributed so immensely tothe prestige of the country in all that appertains to the internalcombustion engine.I am glad to think that despite Sir Henry’sunconquerable modesty in regard to his achievements,he wasrecognised by his fellow countrymen for the great man he un-doubtedly wasLoRD WAKEFIELD.  \nHaving known Sir Henry Royce for nearly 30 years,and havingexperienced his great courtesy and charm and helpfulness in theearly days of motoring,before even the wotks at Derby werebuilt,it is with the very deepest regret I read of his passing away.The loss to motor engineering in general and to your companyin particular,is incalculable.His genius and skill I fear willnever be replaced.I wish as the first private owner of a Rolls-Royce car and one who has therefore benefited for longer thanany other,to offer to the Directors of the Company,and to allthose of the staff who have worked under him and been taughtby him,and I know learned to love him,my deepest sympathyin their irreparable loss.CoLONEL R.S.RuSTON.  \nThose who have followed the brilliant achievements of theRolls-Royce Company during the past twenty years will appreciateSir Henry's genius as a designer.  \nG.DE HAVILLAND.  \nWhat a genius,what a tutor,and what a friend.His patiencewith his disciples was beyond comprehension and I am proudto think I belong to that select company.In the days of ourstruggles 25 to 30 years ago,when time and liberty countednothing,who could resist his enthusiasm.Imagine a soldierconfronted with his General who insisted on going over the top:into No Man's Land with him.Who could resist?We havea wonderful example to follow—Work,Enthusiasm,and Britishto the core.His labours will be rewarded in our life time andit is up to us all to follow his example.To-night I feel over-whelmed with grief in the loss of someone who was more to methan a loving parent.Please kindly accept this letter as thefeelings of Rolls-Royce in France.W.HALLAM.  \nHis energy and foresight and,perhaps,above all,his greatcapacity for detail have resulted in the Rolls-Royce enginebecoming what it is to-day,and I am sure that no man coulddesire a better monument.  \nAir Marshal SIR H.C.T.DowDING,C.B.,C.M.G.  \nThe whole engineering world has lost an outstanding personality,of whom this country was very proud,and we should like youto know that we share to the full in the general sense of industrialbereavement,which the passing of so great a figure can hardlyfail to create.  \nSIR HAROLD
