1332 FLIGHT. DECEMBER 13, 1934. COMMITTEE OF UNION JACK CLUB The K.A.F. representatives on the committee of the Union Jack Club are:—WaTrant Officer Tr. A. Hanson, Uxbridge, and Corporal P. E. Peddie, Record Office, Ruisiip. , TRADE PROFICIENCY OF NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS Assessments of the trade proficiency ol .all non-commissioned officers are in future to be made under three headings, correspond- ing generally with the factors considered for re-engagement puT- poses. The headings will be as follows:—• A.— (i) Skilled as tradesman. (ii) Proficiency as pilot, air gunner (full-time) or air observer, if so mustered. B.—Ability as technical N.C.O., i.e., as foreman in trade. C.—Administrative ability as N.C.O. The terms " tradesman," " technical," etc., are used in a broad sense, and cover clerks, aircrafthands, etc, as well as airmen whose employment is in the narrow sense technical. Since the new method provides for independent assessments in respect of ability in trade and ability in rank, the rules as regards the award of " superior " and " satisfactory " stated in the last two sentences of clause 4 of para. 2141, K.R. & A.C.I., will no longer apply to assessments. R.US.I. ESSAY The subject of the gold medal essay of the Royal United Service Institution for 1935 will "be " Discuss the effect of the development of air power on British interests in the Mediterranean, and suggest how these interests should be pro- tected." The gold medal of the Institution will be awarded to the best essay, should the referees consider it of sufficient merit. The Trench Gascoigne prizes are 30 guineas to the writer of the essay placed first and 20 guineas to the writer of the essay next in order of merit. Essays must not exceed 9,000 words, and must be received on or before November 15, 1933. Further particulars may be obtained from the Secretary, Royal United Service Institution, Whitehall, S.W.i. MARRIED ALLOWANCES A new Air Ministry order provides that a qualified married officer posted for duty with the Fleet Air Arm at home or in the Mediter- ranean Command will be eligible for married rates of allowances, instead of consolidated allowance (separate families), provided his family is in residence at the officer's permanent shore base. The officer himself, when abseat from his shore base on duty, will be regarded for allowance purposes as on temporary duty. The per- manent bases of Fleet Air Arm squadrons are Upavon, Netheravon, Gosport, Doni bristle, and Malta.
