The number of pilots trained by the club for “A” licences is 70. Eight pupils who trained with the club have since qualified for “B” licences; two have gained their wireless operators’ tickets; five are licensed ground engineers; four are members of the N.Z.A.F.; three are members of the Royal Air Force; one is in the Air Force in China; another is instructing in South Africa; and three are employees of various commercial companies in New Zealand. During the last financial year nine pupils gained their “A" licences, four were granted their endorsed “A” licences and one passed his “B” licence examination.
