We have approxi­ mately 100 pilots under training all the time and probably many of their instructors are known to you personally as several of them live in the Town of Exeter Accompanying me tonight is Wing Commander E. R. John­ ston, the Officer Commanding of Flying Training School, and Wing Commander Roberts. “Another unit we have on the station is the Instrument Flying School. On days when it is fogy or raining and you might think that no one would venture into the air, you possibly have heard aircraft arrive and depart from Station Centralia. The Instru­ ment Flying School takes grad­ uate pilots and teaches them to fly in just this type of weather. Graduates from this school are capable of flying commercially > or in combat in all types of weather. This is extremely im­ portant as an enemy has means of attaching in all kinds of wea­ ther and accordingly we must be5* prepared to defend ourselves and be equally as agressive in the event of war. “The School of Flying Control is another unit at Centralia for the purpose of training officers for performing the role of a traffic cop in directing aircraft around the aerodrome, and you can readily imagine that we have a greater interest in pre­ venting two aircraft from collid­ ing than has the traffic cop when he is accomplishing that end in his directing of traffic. Upon graduating from this school, these officers direct traf­ fic mostly by radio from the control tower which is set in a high location to enable one to see the whole aerodrome and surrounding skies and country. “In larger aircraft where more than one type of aircrew is required, the other half of the team in operating that, aircraft besides the pilot, is the radio­ navigator. During peacetime he fulfills the role of air gunner, navigator, radio officer and bom­ bardier. As you are probably aware he is trained at Clinton. However, he takes his air train­ ing in the fourth unit on the station—the Radar and Commu­ nications Flight. This school operates our biggest aircraft, the Dakota, and you have un­ doubtedly seen t h e m flying around the area. “We are always pleased to feel that the rest of the commu­ nity takes an interest in our; problems and affairs, and al­ though we are continually con­ scious of this we make a special effort in June of each year to acquaint the public with their Air Force. One day, known as Air Force iDay, is set aside on each RCAF Station so that the station is wide open to inspec­ tion and visits from the public. Many thanks to the community for ’ ’ the and tive friends Air Force Day of each yeaT.' A. C. Moir Retires from CPR Mr. A. C. Moir, a native of this community, who for forty- two years was an employee of the C.P.R., and who for the past twenty years has at Stettler, Alta., pension and has gary to reside.
