Please address enquiries to: The Principal AIRWORK SERVICES TRAINING Perth • Scotland Telephone: Scone 295 The go-ahead CHALLENGE that is ROYAL NAVY A SEA VIXEN about to touch-down on H.M.S. ARK ROYAL you. find, it in the FLEET AIR ARM Every rapid minute is a challenge. When a catapulted take-off thrusts you away at 170 m.p.h. in fifty paces, when sea and land soon whip by below at ten miles a minute, and a never-still deck, with only a twenty-foot margin for error, is your target for touchdown—then this is flying that demands no ordinary skill and nerve. It is a constant challenge to your quickness of mind and eye, your steady hand. Moreover, it may not be long before you are serving in the Navy's new aircraft carrier, with its parallel deck and other important developments. You can join the Fleet Air Arm as an officer, between 17 and 26, and you must have at least 5 passes in the G.C.E. at '0' level (English, Maths, and three others), or the equivalent. You are selected by the Admiralty Interview Board, and initially trained at the Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth. Basically, you have the choice of two kinds of service. Between 17 and 22, a pensionable engagement to 38; or a 12 year service if your entry age is between 22 and 26. Either service can be terminated at 5 (helicopter pilots only), 8, or 12 years: good pay, gratuities of up to £5,000, too. In addition, you can be considered for transfer to a permanent commission.

Wykes-Sneyd, R.N., Officer Entry Section FR32/B, Naval Careers Service, State House, High Holborn, London, W.C.I.
