Five more pilots recently joined Pilot-Officer J. S. Dinsdale, of Christchurch. and Pilot-Officer R. Hartshorn, Auckland. They are Pilot-Officers W. B. Tidy, Mnrton, J. H. Reason, Morrinsville, C. J. Freshney, Takapuna, G. C. Hill, Paeroa, and L. Latter, Devonport. Nine pilots from the Dominion are now taking a general reconnaissance course before being posted to the squadron. Several radio mechanics have already been posted.
