RCAF Station, Clinton, will be
the scene of a rather unique
graduation ceremony this com-
ing Friday, September 7, at 1.30
p.m. when six members of the•
Summer Air Training Course No.
4 will receive the Radio Officer
Wings along with six members'
of the first Technical Armament
Officers Course, Who will receive
diplomas after successfully com-
pleting an extensive period of
training, the first of its kind in
the RCAF.
G/C Robert S. Turnbull, DEC,
AFC, DFM, Director of Reserve
and Manning at AFHQ, is expect='
ed: to be present as reviewing of-
ficer and to carry out the pre-
sentation of wings and diplomas.
Outstanding Career
G/C Turnbull has had an out-
standing Service Career and has
the distinction of rising from the
rank of Sergeant to W/C in 11
months during the war. Born
in Winnipeg in 1918, he lived in
Govan, Sask., before joining the
RCAF early in 1940. He was one
of the, early graduates of the
British Commonwealth Air Train-
ing Plan, receiving his Pilot
wings at Saskatoon in 1941. He
went overseas as a Sergeant
Pilot, end his first operational
trip was in May of that year
flying in a Whitley Bomber. Af-
ter 17 operational trips on Whit-
leys, he. was switched to Hall-,
fax's and was awarded the Dis-
tinguished Plying Medal. His
meteoric rise in rank began in.
November, 1941, when he was
commissioned a Pilot Officer.
By August 1942, after further
operational work, he was a Flight
Lieutenant, and in November, he
was a Wing Commander. Before
the war ended he had been pro-
moted to Group Captain and ap-
pointed to dommand a station in
Bomber Command. He was a
,yarded the Distinguished Flying
Cross and Bar to add to his DFM,
as well as the Air Force Cross.
In addition he was awarded the
French Croix de Guerre with
Silver Star and was mentioned
in Despatches.
After returning to Canada,
G/C Turnbull served as Senior
Staff Officer at Trenton, attend-
ed the RCAF Staff College, and
served with Air Transport Com-
mand before being appointed to
his present position. In the late
autumn G/C Turnbull will take
over post of Director of Person-
nel Administration at AFHQ.
In The Air Force
So you think you have trouble
with insects splashing against
your car windshield at this time
of the year. Well, believe it or
not, the RCAF experiences the
same problem when testing high-
speed jetplanes travelling over
600 miles per hour.
To carry out certain tests op,
new jet-propelled aircraft; RCAF
technicians must carefully remove
all imperfections on selected.por-
tions of the airfoil to allow the
air to flow freely across during
flight. So exact are these tests
that even the smallest speck of
dust will throw off the calcula-
tions.
' It seems fantastic that a tiny
insect can interfere with the
flight of a jet fighter but that is
exactly the case. Many times af-
ter ground technicians have tak-
en great care in preparing the
plans for flight testing, the tests
have been spoiled when the air-
craft has struck an insect in
flight.
Of course, the insect probably
is even more upset about the
whole thing than 'the Air Force.
Some people pay good money
for the privilege of roughing it
in the bush end swatting mos-
quitoes but for a fortunate few in
the RCAF it is all part of their
training, In addition to the bush
survival course and the para -
rescue course conducted at Ed-
monton other units conduct their
own smaller courses designed to
provide additional trained person-
nel in times of need.
One of the latest of these em-
ployed a Canso flying boat to
take them from the comforts of
Sea Island airport, BCC., to a
mountain lake 'at the base of a
glacier covered muntain.
Four RCAF members with civil-
ian Alpine instructors climbed the
glacier, learning how to look af-
ter themselves as they climbed.
These men with further training
will be able to assist in mountain
rescues whenever 'they are need-
ed.
