Consultative Com-mittee, set up as a means of keeping the Air Ministry informed as to the generalfeeling amongst the A.T.C. members and of enabling those who organize A.T.C.Units to know the long-term plans the Ministry has for the Corps.

He referred to a negotia- tion in which a Land Officer settled acase of an aircraft crashing on a tent in Saudi Arabia and killing the bread-winner of the family. Great initiative was shown by the officer and inter-national harmony was preserved by his successful persuasion of the wife thatfull compensation for the loss of her husband could be settled on the basisof 14 female camels. Camels were not acceptable to claimants in tbis country,but Land Officers were equally successful. Badge of No. 38(Bomber) Squadron, R.A. F. "AnteLucem" (Before the Dawn).

Speaking on December nth, Mr. Noel- Baker said there was in some quarters a rather defeatist attitude about the A.T.C., which he did not share. The functions of that Committee showed that the A.T.C. had real and lasting im- portance. In future the A.T.C. would be administered by Reserve Command and its training would be closely inte- grated with that of the Auxiliary Air Force and the R.A.F.V.R. But it was , extremely important that not only Ser- v Permanent R.A.F. Commissions vice ideas should be brought into itsadministration and the Consultative Committee could play a very importantrole in helping to administer it. They must try to dispel the conception that inthe future the A.T.C. was going to be anybody's child and that the Air Minis-try had lost interest in it. That that conception was untrue be had alreadylearned in the short time he had been at the Ministry, which meant to do all itcould to give practical support to the McK. Thomson; H. L. E.
