In April 1966, the functions of the Ministry of Aviation were taken over by the Civil Aviation Department of the Board of Trade (BoT). Under the Director, Aerodromes Technical Directorate (DAT), there were various branches dealing with technical problems arising at aerodromes.
In April 1967, the BoT's previous Director of Flight Safety was appointed as Director, Supersonic Transport and All-Weather Operations (D/SST-AWO). He was in charge of two branches, SST1 and SST2, and assisted by a Deputy Director (DD/SST-AWO). It appears that, at least in April 1968, D/SST-AWO was in Branch 5 of BoT's Civil Aviation Division.
In about May 1968 the Director's post was renamed Director/Advanced Aircraft Operations (D/AAO). Previous SST branches were renamed as AAO1 to AAO5 and the organisation included a Deputy Director (DD/AAO). In September 1968, the BoT formed a new division called the Directorate-General of Safety and Operations (DGSO), of which Branch 4 was the advanced Aircraft Operations Directorate of D/AAO, AAO1 to AAO5. In October 1970, the functions became part of the Department of Trade and Industry's Civil Aviation Divisions. Some of these were absorbed by the Civil Aviation Authority when it was created in 1972.
