6 FEBRUARY 1959 FLIGHT 25 ENGLISH ELECTRIC AVIATION LTD. The present trend of building many pre-production aircraft is intended to reduce the time required to fly the large number of sorties necessary to prove the design of a modern aircraft weapons system. The increasing number of pre- production 'Lightning' aircraft now flying has increased the work of the departments associated with Flight Test and created the following vacancies. 1. INSTRUMENTATION TECHNICIANS are required to design and assemble the flight test instruments, recorders and associated electrics both for detail tests and for the overall assessment of particular systems incorporated in the different aircraft. Applicants should at least have O.N.C. or be actively studying for this, and should have experience of instruments, radio or radar, or small complex mechanisms. 2. AN INSTRUMENT MAKER, fully skilled in the use of watch-makers lathe and small precision milling machines, is required to make the small mechanisms necessary for some aspects of experimental instrumentation. 3. ELECTRONIC ENGINEERS are required to strengthen the team now investigating the possibilities of fully auto- matic data handling by use of the Division's Deuce computor and other facilities. This work is aimed at reducing the time and manual work involved in data handling, by investigating new methods of data recording and processing. Applicants should have a degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or Physics or some years relevant experience. 4. RADAR/RADOME DEVELOPMENT. A vacancy exists in the EQUIPMENT TEST LABORATORY for an ENGINEER to assist on this work. This position is suitable for an engineer about 26 years of age who has his H.N.C. (Electrical) and has an aptitude for mathematics. Experience of Radar and Microwave techniques would be an advantage. Apply in the first instance to: Dept. C.P.S., Marconi House, Strand, London, W.C.2 quoting ref. No. F1706B. FELLOWSHIP OF THE AIR Jubilee Book of the Royal Aero Oub "Fellowship of the Air," by B. J. Hurren, is the story of the Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom. Opening with the remarkable circumstances surrounding the founding of the Club in 1901, it goes on to describe the ballooning era, the dramatic events of the coming of the aeroplane, and the pioneer flights of those far-off days. Then on to the immense expansion of air trans- port in World War I, the golden inter-war years of private and sporting flying, the stern demands made upon private fliers in World War II, and finally the post-war resurgence of the Club in all its many activities. The book, which is fully illustrated by many magnificent photographs, is an outstanding story of an outstanding achievement—a worthy tribute to the vision, courage and determination of that group of men and women whose work over fifty crowded years has kept Britain foremost in the air. 30s. net.
