SERVICE WITH R.A.F.
WANGANUI PILOT The second New Zealand woman pilot to become actively engaged in the Royal Air Force Air Transport Auxiliary is Miss Trevor Hii/iter, Wanganui, who will leave New Zealand shortly to take up her new post. Miss Hunter offered her services to the Air Transport Auxiliary 15 months ago, but only recently received advice that she would be posted as a pilot if she passed a physical examination and flight test in England. Arrangements have been made for her to go to England to undergo the tests. She was the first Wanganui girl to finish aerodrome training with the Wanganui Aero Club. At the age of 1(1 years she was flying solo, and was the youngest woman pilot flying in New Zealand at that time. The other New Zealand woman engaged in the same work in England is Miss McLean, Christchurch, who has been in the Air Transport Auxiliary since last November.
