LAID TO REST

Before Flying Officer E. K. Fielden loft the Royal Air Force to become the Prince of Wales's special pilot he was one of these meteoro- logical observers, and during a long period did remarkably good work.

This, however, does not represent all the meteorological work of the R.A.F., and weather science is only one of many fields in which the personnel of the force are engaged, for it is erroneous to imagine that the members of this Service on rogular flying duties are all occupied by what comes under the description

These reveal the direction of the flow of air at all parts,of the wing, and they are observed while 'the aeroplane is flown at different angles of Incidence, put into various manœuvres, and flown upside down.

Tests and Experiments This is a method used by some of the early experimentera in mechani cal fight more than twenty years ago, and it is still useful in the “la... · boratory of the open air." It is used by scientific workers at Cam- bridge University, who are under the Air Ministry but not in the Royal Air Force.

In connection with the same Uni- verslty much work is carried on in various branches of science by officers of the R.A.F. on the ground and in the air,

At Farnborough and at Martle- sham R.A.F. pilots are always at work in connection with the aero- plane in general, and not with solo reference to its development for war, Machines designed for civil fying are tested. Flights are made for the purpose of observing "wing fut- ter" and other unpleasant pheno- mena. Gears, propellors, and stabi- lity provide occasion for flight tests.

Benefits to Science. All over Great Britain, and also at foreign stations, R.A.F. pilots are frequently called upon to report upon meteorological conditions at different heights. Automatically recording instruments are often used, and in the near future develop ments now in progress will lead to a considerable improvement and ex- tension of automatic observation,
