Metal Worker—Introduction of New Trade It has been decided to abolish the trades of blacksmith and welder andof coppersmith and metal worker. These trades are to be regarded as obso- lescent from the date of this order. They will be replaced by a new group 1trade of " metal worker," and airmen of this trade will be qualified to perform the duties at present allotted to the two obsolescent trades. As a result of this reorganisation certain reductions in establishmentswill be effected. New establishments will therefore be published with effect from April 1, 1935, which will follow the broad principle that one air-craftman of the new trade will be subsituted for two aircraftmen (one of each of the present trades) in squadron establishments, and that a reduction,though on a smaller scale, will be effected in the number of aircraftmen allowed in other units. Non-commissioned officer establishments will not be affectedby this general decision. Some time will elapse before airmen of the new trade are available to fill the posts on the new establishments, and aifmen ofthe present trades will therefore t>C posted on the present basis to fill such vacancies as exist in the new establishments, e.g., a squadron for which anaircraftman metal worker is not available will receive two aircraftmen, one from each of the present trades. All future entrants will be trained in the new trade, and conversion courseswill be arranged to which existing psrsonnel may be posted from time to time to enable them to remuster to metal worker. The first course commenced at Manston on May 28 last The course will normally be of about 12 months' duration.
