JOKE 23, 1921 " The Secretary of State for Air," said he was very glad to see the attendance of members was so satisfactory. In regard to the future, he would like to say that it was in view to establish an I.A.F. Dinner Club, and he suggested that this should carry with it a subscription of five shillings per annum. He hoped all members of the I.A.F. would join this club, and thus be able to meet their fellows regularly. Capt. Guest, in response, thanked the Duke of York for his support of their function, and said how verv encouraging it was to all to feel that they could rely upon His Royal Highness's support for their future gatherings. The old country, he thought, was pulling through., and getting; now to a more normal condition in spite of the great upsets, but the one requirement that was insisted upon by everybody just now was economy. No doubt by these enforced economies a large amount of the present downheartedness as to the future was created, more particularly with respect to the R.A.F. than the other Services, as the R.A.F. had to be so drastically reduced as compared to the other Services, when the Armistice came, from the immense personnel to the narrow limits which at present had been enforced. But they could afford to be patient for the re-awakening, as it was sure to come. Those present then retired to the reception room, and it was a late hour before the company broke up, following the departure of the Duke of York. Amongst those present were :— Air-Marshal Sir H. M.
