S S S The Westland " Wallace " THE Air Ministry have passed an order for twelve Westland '' Wapitis " to be converted into the '' Wallace general-purpose type. When the conversion has been completed these machines will doubtless be used to equip some squadron, probably one of the squadrons of the Auxiliary Air Force. When the name " Wallace " was adopted for the Westland P.V.6 some weeks ago, we pointed out that names were not normally sanctioned by the Air Ministry for new types of Service aircraft, unless it had been decided to use the type as equipment for some R.A.F. unit. We congratulate the Westland Aircraft Works on the success of their new type. " Harts " for Auxiliary Squadrons IT has been decided that No. 600 (City of London) and No. 601 (County of London) Bomber Squadrons of the Auxiliary Air Force are to be equipped with " Hart " bombers instead of with " Wapitis." The pilots of the A.A.F. have amply proved themselves fit to be entrusted with the same types of machines as the regular Royal Air Force, and they are now to receive this reward for all their excellent hard work. At the same time, it must not be forgotten that the majority of the bomber and army co-operation squadrons overseas are equipped with the " Wapiti," and some of them may soon have the " Wal lace " in its stead ; so it cannot be said that the A.A.F. have been slighted by having had the use of the excellent Wapiti " for the past few years.
