NOT SO ERKSOME! R.A.F. Ground Staff Learn Aircraft MaintenanceM AINTAINING aircraft in first-class fly- ing condition is a vital part of R.A.F. organisation, and the unfailing trust which pilots and air crews have learnt to place in the men who care for their machines is a direct tribute to the excellence of the R.A.F. Technical Training Schools, at which the air- craftmen are taught their job. These pictures, taken recently at one of these schools, depict typical scenes in many similar establishments all over the country. Ground staffs are divided, roughly speaking, into two main sections—those who look after the engines and those who service the air- frames—though the specialists in armament, radio and instrument maintenance are equally important, of course. Above is a general view in an R.A.F.classroom,'' the other pictures showing in- struction on undercarriages, engines andskin '' repairs.
