48 FLIGHT. JANUARY IO, 1935. AIRMAN PILOTS It has been decided as a temporary measure to allow certain air man pilots to extend their flying service. Airmen whose selection for re-engagement is notified before they are due to remuster to their basic trades will continue to serve as pilots until, but not beyond, the expiration of their normal periods of flying service. The flying service of all other airmen who are mustered as pilots at the date of this order will be extended as follows: —(i) If not desirous of re-engagement—until the completion of their regular service, (ii) If desirous of re-engagement—until the receipt of the decision in the unit. Airmen who are selected for re-engagement will be remustered to their basic trades forthwith; those who are not selected will continue as pilots until the completion of their regular service. Any airman who does not wish his flying service to be extended is to intimate the fact to his CO., who will then remuster him to his basic trade on the normal date. NEW TRADE OF RIGGER (BALLOON) A decision has been reached to abolish the group II trade of rigger (airship), which will be regarded as obsolescent from the date of this order. The trade will be replaced, by a new group III trade of rigger (balloon), which will be recruited by selection from air- crafthands, group V. Airmen now mustered to the trade of rigger (airship) will continue to serve in group II until the expiry of their engagements. The decision to abolish that trade will not debar them from extension of service or from re-engagement. They will be considered for promotion on a common roster with riggers (balloon). REPORTING THE MOVEMENTS OF CIVIL AIRCRAFT In addition to the normal arrival and departure signals, the move ments of civil aircraft using the R.A.F. Station, Abbotsinch, are to be reported by that station to the aerodrome control officer, Renfrew. Similarly, the movements of civil aircraft using Alder- grove are to be reported by that station to the aerodrome control officer, Newtownards. Aerodrome control officers at these civil air ports are responsible for initiating all action in connection with overdue civil aircraft.
