It was built in 1485; John Washington, an ancestor of George's, was active in the church building. In his honor his coat of arms was placed near the top and center of the stained-glass window where it remains to be seen today . . . white stars on blue field and red and white stripes...

Close study of the Bison's air intakes, which are 6 ft. in diameter, has convinced some experts that the new Russian engines are merely large, clumsy turbojets built on old principles and probably rather inefficient. Others draw a less comforting conclusion: that the large intakes point to bypass engines, a much discussed type that may prove ideal for long-range, high-speed bombers...
Range & Quiet. Bypass engines are hard to design, and few of them have been built. Probably the leading model is the British Rolls-Royce Conway, which has been ordered for the Vickers 1000 airliner. Critics say that it does not bypass enough air to yield full efficiency, but Rolls-Royce claims that it will give top range and safety to airplanes flying above the practical speeds of turboprops...
