Clerk of Councils.

This amendment is designed to repoal the provisions as to the PORT SHELTER RANGE described as Practice Area (a) in the FirsL Schedule to the Air Armament Practice Ordinance, 1949, and lo substitute therefor new provisions which extend the area of tbe Range Southwards to the NINEPINS and to a leaser extent to the North East and which provide for a small increase in the mainland area of the Range behind NGAM TAU SILA.

Practice Area (*) under the Air Armament Practice Ordinance, 1949, will thus be identical in area to the new Firing Range B under the Defences (Firing Areas) Ordinance, 1938.

The extension of Practice Area (a) will enable the R. A. F. to practise air to ground firing on a West to East. course.

The amendment to the Third Schedule requires an added safety precaution by providing for a new flag or light signal when the area is being used for air to ground Bring.
