ADMIRAL SIR JOHN TOVEY. K.C.8., K.8.E., D. 5.0., on board H.M.S. King George V, making his farewell speech to the Home Fleet before taking up his new appointment as C.-in-C. The Nore.
The R.A.F. at Home now has its own Tactical Air Force designed to work with the Army in the field. It conforms closely to the North-West African Tactical Air Force, which proved so successful in Tunisia and Sicily. Commanding the British Tactical Air Force is 49-year-old Air Vice-Marshal J. H. D’Albiac, who since 1940 has served as soldier, marine, and airman. The Tactical Air Force ranks as part of R.A.F. Fighter Command and absorbs the former Army Co-operation Command.
