APRIL 17, 1924 NOTICES TO AIRMEN International Aeronautical Maps : Egypt General Sheet 1. Correction of Maps. The publication of sheets of the International Aeronautical Maps renders necessary the notification of corrections to the aeronautical information (black plate) which is subject to considerable change. The normal method of notification will be by Notice to Airmen. Holders of copies of the maps should therefore make any corrections which are notified in Notices to Airmen, and on each occasion when corrections are made should amend the correction date in the bottom right-hand corner of the map. Corrections should preferably be made in red ink. Anyone in possession of aeronautical information which is not shown on the map and which can be vouched for as accurate, or anyone discovering errors in the map, is invited to communicate full details to the Secretary, Air Ministry (D.D.A.T.), quoting the reference 495104/24. The first list of corrections to the Egypt General Sheet is given below. 2.

The number of cadetships open to competition on this occasion, owing to the authorised expansion of the Air Force, will not be less than 35. This number will include any cadets who may be awarded King's Cadetships or Honorary King's Cadetships, and one prize cadetship. In addition, one Wakefield Scholarship of the value of £75, tenable for one year, will be offerecf for competition among candidates whose parents or guardians are in reduced circum stances, with preference to cases due to the late War. The closing date of entry for this examination is April 24, and no form of entry will be accepted under any circum stances after May 8. Applications should be made to the Secretary, Civil Service Commissioners, Burlington Gardens, W. 1.

This plan super sedes that published in Notice to Airmen No. 38 of 1922. (No. 25 of 1924.) . H H FORCE CADETS candidates have failed to attain the standard of fitness required owing, it is thought, to their having neglected to take proper exercise while preparing for the educational examination, and it is therefore desired to direct the atten tion of candidates to the care of their health in this respect. Parents and guardians are strongly recommended, in order to lessen the chance of subsequent disappointment, to have their sons or wards examined previous to their becoming candidates for commissions in the Royal Air Force, by a preliminary Royal Air Force Medical Board or by a medical practitioner. The entrance examination is the same as that for the entry of cadets to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, the examination for entry to the three colleges taking place simultaneously. Candidates entering their names for the examination for either of the two Army Colleges can also submit their names at the time of application for entry into the Royal Air Force Cadet College as a second preference. Competition will be conducted in accordance with the regulations fdt the Royal Air Force (Cadet) College, Air Publication 121, which may be obtained from His Majesty's Stationery Office, Imperial House, Kingsway, W.C. 2, price Is. 224
