GUILD OF AIR PILOTS AND AIR NAVIGATORS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE Foundation Council Selected THE second general meeting of the Guild of Air Pilotsand Air Navigators of the British Empire was held atRules' Restaurant, Maiden Lane, W.C.2, on April 10. Air Vice-Marshal Sir Sefton Brancker, K.C.B.. AFC, and a large representative gathering of pilots engaged in commercial aviation were present. Sqdn.-Ldr. E. L. Johnston, O.B.E., AFC, was in the chair, and in opening the meeting he thanked Air Vice-Marshal Sir Sefton Brancker for his support in launching the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators of the ISritish Empire. He also stated that it was a source of great pleasure to all present that the Guild had been the recipient of a gift of 100 guineas from a donor who wished to remain anonymous. That was a magnificent gesture to the Guild, ;ind augured well for its future, and perhaps, as he (the chair- man), being the most optimistic member present, might be permitted to say, the response to the formation of the Guild had far exceeded his most optimistic anticipation. The response alone showed more than anything else the urgent need that existed for such a professional body of aviators, and l>ecause of that he once more appealed to those present to exercise the soundest judgment in approving the memorandum and articles of association, and particularly the qualification for membership. The Drafting Committee had given the greatest thought and attention to those matters, and it was hoped that the resolutions would be adopted with on" accord to ensure the establishment of the Guild upon a sound foundation, which would place it in the forefront of the professional bodies and institutions which existed in London. S. Smith and Sons' Annual Dinner ON April 13, at the Hotel Russell, the annual dinner and dance of S. Smith and Son (M.A.), Ltd., was held. These well-known manufacturers of motor and aeronautical instru- ments had a thoroughly enjoyable evening from start to finish. A considerable amount of enthusiasm was in evidence, as -«r. Cordon Smith had, for the third time, secured the "(' Riband of the canine world, the Waterloo Cup, and addition, Mrs. Gordon Smith had secured the Waterloo a(t;, Which, as onn <snpalr*»r Twnnrlrrvi looked as though this ition1 Ja 't;, which, e speaker remarked, looke •umual race was being turned into a Smith's or family affair. In the course of the evening the Foundation Council was elected for the purpose of supervising the formation and registration of the Guild. This Foundation Council consists of Maj. H. G. Brackley, Capt. W. L. Hope, Capt. O. P. Jones, Sqdn.-Ldr. E. L. Johnston, Capt. N. Macmillan, Capt. C R.Macmullin. Capt. A. S. Wilcockson. Subject to the limitation of members, membership of the Guild is open to certificated air pilots and air navigators who are British subjects by birth or by naturalisation, and who, at the date of nomination, have been for not less than five years the holder of a Class "B" aeroplane pilots licence or a first-class airship pilot's licence or a certificate of competency as a first-class navigator of commercial aircraft. The Guild is formed principally to promote the consideration and discussion of all questions affecting, and to protect and advance the interests of, the members of the Guild, and the business of commercial aviation. It will constitute & body of experienced airmen who will be available to act as members of or give evidence before Royal Commissions and the like, and by legislative measures consider and promote improve- ments" in the laws affecting commercial aviation It will seek to improve and elevate the technical and general knowledge of its members, and to promote honourable practice in the profession of commercial aviation. . . Application for membership to the Guild in the first place should be made to : The Secretary to the Foundation Council, The Guild of Air Pilots and Air ]Savigators of the British Empire, Harrowden House, Harrowden, Bedford. <s> <s> During the evening a very happy and pleasant function was performed by presenting to Mr. and Mrs Gordon Smith a handsome silver salver—a copy of very fine antique George III period—as the annual dinner synchronised with the twentv-fifth anniversary of their wedding. Mr. Gordon Smith made a very happy and suitable reply to the compliment. The whole of the staff present demonstrated the very' excellent understanding prevailing between the directors and employees. The evening's arrangements were most admirably organised by Mr. J. E. Chorlton, well known to all in aviation circles. 347
