AUGUST 29TH, 1946 FLIGHT 23 r v " Flight " phvtograph. OTTER TO THE RESCUE : Whenever the Meteors are flying, the speed record course is patrolled by A.S.R.

The Air Force as a Career ?y MORE than 6,000 W/O.s, SeniorN.C.O.s, and airmen at presentserving in the Middle East are having an opportunity to air their views on anAir Force career. A wing commander, as representativeof the Director General of Manning, Air Ministry, is head of a team whicharrived in Egypt last month, and has begun a tour of the whole Middle EastCommand. He is holding representa- tive meetings during which he chats in-formally with any personnel who have "binds" or queries, or are interested insigning on again. The wing commander has found thatmen in general were basing their ideas of the peace-time Air Force on present -dayconditions. '' Married men in particular are un-happy at the continued separation," said the wing commander. " I feel thatthere is a great lack of knowledge on real peace-time conditions. It is impos-sible after years of war conditions to get back to a peace-time basis within 18months. The lads should not jeopardize their whole career for the sake of thedifficult transition period." The Middle East team is one of sevenwhich are making a world-wide tour to provide information on post-war condi-tions and to clarify problems raised by personnel who may stay in the Service.
