"RAF MEN”
WHO DON'T SCRAP WILL MAKE
EXIST
Goebbels's propaganda machine is working ever-time on the "latest". R.A.F. prisoners. One list contains 25 names,
Many of them have no existence in the Air Force List; most of those that can be identified have already appeared in R.A.F. casualty lists, either as prisoners or as missing,
One officer named in the Ger- man list is Pilot-Officer G. W. V. Biden. The Air Ministry reported him missing on June 15.

ARMS FOR US
ON 20 ACRES of grassland down in the country a pyramid of twisted metal is mounting towards the sky. It is a funeral pile of Luftwaffe ambition - the dumping place to which from all over the coun- try R.A.F. lorries bring the broken, bullet-riddled remains of the Heinkels, Dorniers, Messerschmidts and Junkers shot down by our fighters and anti- aircraft guns.
Here in increasing numbers do nothing else but unload and Pilat-Officer Vincent Parker, shattered aircraft are being mass-pile up the lorry-loads of aero- announced as captured, was nameded to form a grey-green moun-planes. in a German broadcast on July 24. tain marked by hundreds of crosses painted on crumpled wings, writes à correspondent.

Another trick is to give R.A.F. officers and men a higher rank than they hold. Aircraftmen be- come flight-sergeants; pilot-officers become squadron leaders.
· PART OF BRIGHTON
MAY BE FREED
A large part of Brighton beach and its southern promenades may soon be released from the ban im- posed by the military.
At 9.45 p.m. curfew now operates at six enter'ainment houses in the "curfew" area.
Those living in that area and attending theatres and cinemas in the free part of the town may still return home by. 10 p.m.
They represent' thousands of pounds' worth of scrap. They will lie here until technicians have analysed the material, and they will be broken up still fur- ther and melted down for use as weapons against the country which produced 'them.
It takes an hour and a half to make a tour of this burial ground. Like cattle pens at a market, the ground is divided into separate lots, each one railed off by the wings of crashed aircraft; each one a dump of debris 12ft. high and covering an acre to an acre end half of ground.

The men wear thick leather gauntlets as protection against the jagged edges of the metal.
And they cheer each time. a lorry rumblea In from the Roman road which runs up to the gates.
One of the men who was lean- ing over a tangled heap of burnt- out engines was swearing quietly to himself.
"It's the reek of them that makes one swear," he said, “The bad sulphurous smell which comes from the vegetable oil they burn makes one feel sick."
I walked with him round the debris, stopping to examine dif- ferent sections. He showed me the breken-off tails of Messerschmidts, cach one with a small Swastika outlined in white; the half-de molished cockpit of a Junkers, rid-
dled with bullet holes; the broken top of a Heinkel; and the wheel- hub of a Dornier.
We passed a heap, six feet in height composed of nothing- but piping and tubing.
More Dumps Ready
"There's enough good material among this lot to make plenty of new aeroplanes for England one day," the man told me. "They are piling up fast now, coming in here at the rate of five and six a day. If the boys go on shooting them down so fast. we shall soon have to make use of our 're- serves'"-and he pointed to a field beyond, where new dumping places were already railed off.
Them a big lorry turned in to the ground-first of a convoy which, were carrying the various parts of a Junkers shot down that morning on the South-West, Coast.
The first lorry carried one wing, riddled with bullets.
My guide excused himself say- ing, "Here's more work for us to do. Those boys of ours are grand."
