IXe RoVal Hero Clu of the United Kh\gdo Hi OFFICIAL /NOTICES TO MEMBERS WE Club, the Marquess of European War. ON Saturday last, the Chairman of the Tullibardine issued the following notice : " Owing to the grave state of affairs on the Continent, it is possible that the British Empire may be involved in a European War. In such an event, the assistance of every able-bodied man might be required, and it is felt that no class cf the community could be of more use to the naval and military authorities than the ' flying men.' The Royal Aero Club desires, therefore, to draw up a list of those aviators who, in the event of grave national e mergency, might be prepared to offer their services, and such aviators are asked to forward their names and addresses and particulars of aeroplane owned (if any) to the Royal Aero Club, 166, Piccadilly, London, W. Such a list would not be regarded as official or binding upon anyone, but would be retained in the club so that the information would be readily available in case of emergency." A large number of civilian pilots immediately volunteered their services. Their names and addresses have been forwarded to the Admiralty and War Office, and already many of them have been called upon. In addition to aviators, a large number of mechanics have sent in WORLD'S AVIATION RECORDS TO JUNE AERONAUTIQUE their names for service, and these have also been transmitted to the Admiralty and War Office. • Several members have placed themselves and their motor cars at the disposal of the Royal Flying Corps. Aviators' Certificates. The following Aviators' Certificates have been granted :— 855 Air Mechanic Victor Clarence fudge, R.F.C. (Maurice Farman Biplane, Central Flying School, Upavon).
