	Miles M.52
		At the close of World War II, the first of the three M.52's was more than 50% completed, with test flights only a few months away.
		However in February 1946 the new Labour government introduced a dramatic budget cut, and the Director of Scientific Research, Sir Ben Lockspeiser, canceled the project.
		The decision to cancel resulted from the fact that many captured German high-speed aircraft designs had featured swept-wings, and the government believed that attempting to break the sound barrier in a straight-wing aircraft such as the M.52 would be suicidal.

		He suggested that the wider use of such devices could reduce the much-criticised disparity between office staffs and producers, and that their social and economic consequences in the business world might be as revolutionary as those which followed the invention of the typewriter and the consequent general employment of women in offices.
		As an example, Sir Ben Lockspeiser said that some airlines now dealt with bookings automatically with the help of an electronic device whose "memory" consisted of a rapidly rotating magnetic drum on which all the relevant information was recorded in code.
		Sir Ben emphasised that electronic brains such as these had a doubly important role to play in modern business, but a notable obstacle to their wider use had hitherto been their expense and great size.

		The new Labour government felt that too much money was being wasted on defense-related projects now that the war had been won, and widespread funding cuts were instituted.
		One of the projects eliminated was the M.52, cancelled in February 1946 by Sir Ben Lockspeiser, the Director of Scientific Research.
		One of the reasons often cited for this decision was captured German data on high-speed aerodynamics that indicated swept wing designs were superior in supersonic flight.

		I am not, by nature, a 'conspiracy theorist', but there are many aspects of the cancellation which simply do not otherwise make sense, especially with regard to the 'official' reasons for the cancellation.
		It is as though word from 'on high' ordered it to be cancelled, and those involved with the cancellation (The 'Supersonic Committee', chaired by Ben Lockspeiser) had to think up vaguely plausible reasons for the cancellation.
		Ackeret's work on the subject had been explained by Taylor in a publicly available document published in 1932, and Dennis Bancroft, Miles' chief aerodynamicist on the project, was well aware of this work.

		On balance I think Ben Lockspears decision to cancel M52 was about right given the information available to him, i.e.
		As for the status of the first prototype, my information comes from the letter from the air ministry to Ben Lockspeiser where air minister says "progress does not seem to be very rapid" and "the firm has spent £73000 to November 30 1945 and estimates it will cost £250000 to complete".
		Cancellation was Labour's first public procurement squander, so MoS' Sir Ben Lockspeiser tried to ease Cabinet Minister Cripps' embarrassment by stressing pilot safety, and has been traduced ever since.
