An attempt by an average Anson aircraft to produce rain by the artificial method of dropping pulverised 'dry ice' on costume Euler's cloud over the Home Counties today (Tuesday) proved unsuccessful. The aircraft was able for three hours in search of the right type of cloud on which to make the attempt, but had to return to base with its mission accomplished. Similar experiments in Australia and America have met with success and, when more suitable club conditions are found over England. It should be possible to put an end to long periods of drought, which menace vital production of food.
Photo shows, Mr EC Jacques, of Rushden, Northants, pilot of the aircraft, hands a package of 'dry ice' solidified carbon dioxide to one of his crew before the takeoff from Blackbushe today (Tuesday).
