BADGES PRESENTED TO AIRCRAFTMEN
PASSING-OUT CEREMONY AT WIGRAM Ten aircraftmen who have completed a year’s training at the Wigram electrical and wireless school were yesterday presented with their radio mechanics’ badges by Brigadier C. E. Weir, Officer Commanding, Southern Military District. The airmen, who comprised the first post-war training course to complete the first period of instruction for the radio-mechanic branch of the service, will spend a year or two on Royal New Zealand Air Force stations and will then re-enter the school for another training period. Later Brigadier Weir, accompanied by Wing Commander A. B. Greenaway (Officer Commanding, Wigram) and Squadron Leader J. E. Duncan, of the Air Department, inspected a wing of the general service training school, 30 men of which have finished their 14 weeks’ recruiting course. Included in the wing were a flight of W.A.A.F.’s who have finished a month’s recruiting course and 36 former R.A.F. technicians who recently arrived in New Zealand.
