Lions Hear Fine Speach On "Blind Landing" By WO/ Jones How the man on the ground actually lands the aircraft through tee agency of "ground controlled approach", was outlined by W/02 Sidney C. Jones, -technical war- rant officer at RCAF Station, in an illuminating address to the members of Clinton Lions Club at their dinner meeting in St. Paul's Parish Hall Tuesday even» ing. • In shorter terms, W/O Jones referred to this radar method as "blind landing." He was intro- duced by W. C. Newcombe, and was thanked in behalf of the Club by John R. Gilbank, The speaker stated that the electronics industry had devised the "instrument' landing system", the "beam" usually being three degrees military and two-and-a- half degrees-civilian. "In GCA, we see, not hear," he said. "The system permits you to see an aircraft within a radius of 30 miles' from your airport. The controllers—who give the instructions for landing n- are picked men, who know their jobs and ooze confidence to the pilot while landing." W/O Jones commented that the Berlin Airlift had been a great success from the point of view of the democracies, and the credit actually was due to ground-con- trolled approach, for the success- ful completioie of the project. President Lame Brown was in the chair, and various committee reports were given, Frank Fingland, QC, said that no reply had been received as yet on the new arena proposition, and they were trying to get plans from Toronto that might act as a guide.
