MV Frederick Corfield addressing conference 1.52 TRANSCRIPT (SEQ14): CORFIELD: "International civil aviation has grown rapidly and enormously since 1945. Indeed it is probably true to say that it is the fastest growing industry in the world. But alas, the dangerous practices of hi-jacking and sabotage have also grown apace in the last ten years or so. Today they represent a serious threat to the freedom and safety of air communications which the international community cannot tolerate. And it can only inhibit the very considerable contribution which air travel has made to greater mutual understanding between nations of the world."
