In order to assist those who are undecided or are seeking advice as to their prospects in civil life, the Editor has arranged for an expert, with wide experience of service, industrial and educational conditions, to give advice to those who may solicit it through the medium of this Journal. Applications, which must be in writing, should be marked Resettlement, and addressed to the Editor, FLIGHT, 36, Great Queen Street, Kingsway, W.C.2. They will be dealt with in these columns, as far as possible, in rotation. S. C, EX-SQUADRON-COMMANDER.—We think you will be best advised to pass your final examination first. This will ensure that you will be fully qualified for your normal profession, which will always be an asset even if you do not remain in that profession. On the other hand, if you have definitely decided to leave your original vocation, and to seek a career in commercial aviation, you will stand a better chance of success if you take a course of aeronautical engineering before entering the commercial world. The Appointments Department of the Ministry of Labour would, no doubt, help you in this matter. Although you possess such ex cellent Service experience, if you seek immediate employ ment^ in civilian aviation you may only be offered an RESETTLEMENT Capt. B.

Of course, you can apply to the leading aircraft companies and may be fortunate in obtaining just the post you are seeking, but in the long-run the best-qualified man gets ahead of others. R. R.—Unfortunately very few ex-Service pilots are likely to obtain immediate employment as civilian pilots. You should register your name with Messrs. Handley Page, Ltd., no, Cricklewood Lane, N.W. 2. State fully your qualifications, in addition to your flying experience. E. A. P., CHIEF MECHANIC—There are very few openings in civilian aviation at present. You will be best advised to seek immediate employment in the motor trade, in which the prospects are better now than they have ever been. R. G. R., DRAUGHTSMAN.—We can only advise you to watch the advertisements in FLIGHT and engineering papers. You should have no difficulty in finding immediate employment as a draughtsman, but you would be unwise to stipulate aircraft work only, as vacancies in the latter are necessarily limited. D. T.—Your query should be addressed to the Secretary, Air Ministry, Strand, W.C. 2. E. L. P.—It will take some time before commercial aviation expands to the extent of requiring specialised land signal men ; nevertheless, we consider your suggestion quite sound- • ^ 4» <£ THE ROLL OF HONOUR Published April 28 Previously reported Missing, now reported Killed Webster, Lieut.
