APRIL 6, 1939 FLIGHT. 353 THE ROYAL AERO CLUB News and Official Notices for Air Defence Cadets SUCCESS has attended the negotiations between the British Gliding Association and the Air Defence Cadet Corps, and a scheme has been agreed to for training Cadets in gliding at eight clubs. In all, arrangements will be made for 700 Cadets to be trained and the work, as originally proposed, will be done at fortnightly camps. The gliding clubs concerned are: ( ambridge, Derbyshire and Lancashire, London, Midland, New- ia<stlf, Oxford, Southdown and Yorkshire. A basic principle agreed to was that during the running of the camps all machines used for training, other than for "ground hops" must have a current B.G.A. Certificate of Airworthiness. For every camp of 20 Cadets the clubs will provide a staff of four, including one full-time paid instructor. No definite standard of training is visualised for the first year, hut the British Gliding Association is confident that if the weather is suitable all Cadets showing aptitude for gliding should reach the "A" Certificate standard, many the "B" standard, and a few even the "C." General Meeting THE Duke of Atholl was elected President of the Royal Aero Club at the annual general meeting held on Wednes day of last week, presided over by Sir Lindsay Everard, M.P. Vice-Presidents elected were : -— The Duke of Sutherland, K.T.; The Marquess of London derry, K.G., M.V.O.; Viscount Wakefield of Hythe, G.C.V.O., C.B.E., LLD.; Lord Gorell, C.B.E., M.C.; Lt. Col. J. T. C. Moore-Brabazon, M.C., M.P.; Lt. Col. M. O'Gorman, C.B. The club committee for 1939 is as follows: — A. J. A. Wallace Barr; Capt. if, S. Broad; Fit. Lt. C.

Expansion SEVERAL proposed new C.A.G. Units were considered by the Executive Committee of the General Council of Associated Light Aeroplane Clubs at its meeting last week, and the Council raised no objections to the following three; Inverness, Swansea, Salmesbury (Preston). Other applications are still being considered. Flyingxdub Profits "NEGOTIATIONS are still proceeding with the Air Ministry •*•* on the subject of the onerous conditions laid down by the Air Ministry limiting the distribution of profits earned by the clubs operating the C.A.G. scheme. They include a maximum profit rate of 5 per cent, in any one year, and experience at the clubs shows that this is insufficient to attract the necessary capital to enable clubs to equip themselves with the extra aircraft needed for the extended C.A.G. training. Club Chairman Honoured S IR KINGSLEY WOOD, Secretary of State for Air, and Air Chief Marshal Sir Cyril Newall, Chief of the Air Staff, were present at a dinner given at the Royal Aero Club on Wednesday to Sir Lindsay Everard, the Chairman of the club. Sir Lindsay Everard has been for many years one of the most generous supporters of private and club flying, and in the House of Commons he keeps a close watch on all aviation interests. He received his knighthood in the New Year honours.

Companies such as Hawker and Rolls-Royce have also given work to about thirty firms all over Scotland. Another news item from Scotland is that the Air Ministry has placed most of the important contracts for the new R.A.F. maintenance factory at Abbotsinch. Lord Provost Dollan, of Glasgow, stated recently that the expenditure would be about £200,000, and that Glasgow firms would be asked to carry out a large share of the work.
