British Navy Seeks Command Of ALHAMBRA
Air Arm: Defence Inadequate?
Inefficiency Due to Dual Control
COAST DEFENCE INADEQUATE
In material, the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy is far behind the naval air forces of the United States and Japan. Not only is the number of machines available for co-opera- tion with the Fleet Inadequate, but they are mostly obsolete. There is also a serious lack
ick of reserve.

FILM OF LOCH NESS MONSTER
"Doubts of the Sceptics
Shattered"
ANIMAL 30 FEET LONGİ
The Loch Ness Monster has been "shot" by a Scots camera- man-Mr. Malcolm Irvine. director of Scottish Film Pro- ductions.
The film shows an animal more than 30 feet long travelling through the water at a speed sald to be in the region of 30 knots. Mr. Irvine first caught a glimpse of the monster in December 1933, and he has seen it half a dozen times since then, but it was not until a few weeks ago that he was able to obtain a Alm record of it.

In order to enable a reserve of Fleet Air Arm pilots to be built up, the Admiralty have repeatedly asked that nuval petty officers should be trained as pilots, but this has been vetoed by the Air Ministry in spite of tho fact that the Royal Air Force employs large numbers of pilota from the non-commissioned ranks.
To-day the question of training petty officers as pilots for the Fleet Air Arm is the more urgent because the needs of rapid naval rearmament are threatening a shortage of naval officers in the more junior ranks.
