APRIL 27, 1939 FLIGHT. e THE ROYAL AERO CLUB News and Official Notices for the Week Ended April 22 Aviators' Certificates Wakefield Challenge Trophy Race THE scope of the Wakefield Challenge Trophy Race, which is to be flown concurrently with the King's Cup Air Race at Birmingham on September 2, will be greatly increased if the requirements are altered in accordance with suggestions made to the Royal Aero Club. At present every aeroplane- competing would be required to have a Certificate of Airworthi ness, but the Royal Aero Club Committee is to consider relax ing this rule and allowing aircraft accorded a special " permit to fly " by the Air Ministry to take part. This proposed change would enable all the new machines now being built for Civil Air Guard training purposes to take part. They include novel and interesting types, some of them fitted with tricycle undercarriage and others with pusher engine arrangements. It is highly probable that The Committee will agree to this step. Cadet Camps AN example to all civil undertakings dealing with national preparedness was set last week by the London Gliding Club. In order to enable the scheme for instructing Air Defence Cadets at camps in various parts of the country to start at once, living quarters were erected at Dunstable in the record time of four days. As a result the first course of 40 Cadets was actually started during the week-end. It will be followed by five other similar 14-day courses, each" course numbering 40 boys. Other clubs of the British Gliding Asso ciation will arrange their Cadet training in June, July and August. Although the gliding clubs are undertaking to train Cadets, all matters of sleeping and victualling are under the control of the Air League of the British Empire. The building put up by the London Gliding Club was a special arrangement taken on behalf of the Air Defence Cadet Corps. Normally, the Air League proposes to'put the boys under canvas. Reports from Dunstable indicate that the boys comprising the first course are showing tremendous enthusiasm, and it is thought that this form of holiday will make a strong appeal to all Cadets and will lead to a good deal of friendly rivalry among them foi selection. Muscadet Meeting AN air rally in which the important prizes consist of casks and cases of the famous Muscadet wines of the Nantes region has been arranged for May 6 by the Aero Club de I'Atlantique at the aerodrome of Chateau-Bougon at Nantes. The first prize includes, in addition to 1,000 francs in cash, half a hogshead of Muscadet. The second prize is 500 francs and 30 bottles. Free accommodation is offered to competitors who comply with the conditions of the Rally. Those wishing to take part should apply to the Secretarv of the Royal Aero Club.
