AUXILIARY AIR FORCE LOOKING FOR RECRUITS

****

THE ROYAL HONG KONG AUXILIARY AIR FORCE (RHKAAF) WILL SHORTLY BE LAUNCHING A RECRUITMENT EXERCISE FOR VOLUNTEERS TO BE TRAINED AS PILOTS AND CREWMAN ON ITS FLEET OF FIXED AND ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT.

THE RECRUITS WILL BE REQUIRED TO UNDERGO TRAINING ON THURSDAY EVENINGS AND AT WEEKENDS.

AS THE RHKAAF IS INVOLVED IN VARIOUS EMERGENCY OPERATIONS, VOLUNTEERS FOR THE UNIT ARE CAREFULLY SELECTED AND ONE OF THE PRIME CONSIDERATIONS IS WHETHER THEY CAN PUT IN THE NECESSARY TRAINING TIME TO ATTAIN THE HIGH STANDARD OF PROFICIENCY REQUIRED FOR THE DUTIES.

BASICALLY, ALL APPLICANTS MUST BE YOUNG MEN AGED BETWEEN 18 AND 35, MEDICALLY FIT AND HAVE NORMAL EYESIGHT WITHOUT THE AID OF SPECTACLES.

THOSE WHO APPLY TO BE PILOTS SHOULD POSSESS A MINIMUM OF FIVE GCE 'O' LEVEL SUBJECTS (OR EQUIVALENT), INCLUDING MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

CANDIDATES FOR CREWMEN ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE GRADE E OR ABOVE IN FIVE GCE 'O' LEVEL SUBJECTS OR EQUIVALENT. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF FIRST AID, SOME MECHANICAL-TECHNICAL APTITUDE AND A STRONG SWIMMING CAPABILITY WOULD BE AN ADVANTAGE.

POTENTIAL RECRUITS SHOULD APPLY WITH FULL PERSONAL DETAILS AND PHOTOGRAPHS TO THE COMMANDING OFFICER, RHKAAF, HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, AIRPORT TUNNEL EAST EXIT, KOWLOON.

DB TO DISCUSS COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES *****

FINDINGS OF A SURVEY ON COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN WONG TAI SIN WILL BE DISCUSSED BY DISTRICT BOARD MEMBERS AT THE IR MEETING ON TUESDAY (MARCH 20).

THE SURVEY, CONDUCTED BY STUDENTS OF THE HONG KONG BAPTIST COLLEGE'S SOCIOLOGY DEPARTMENT, WAS AIMED AT IDENTIFYING RESIDENTS' NEEDS AND FINDING OUT THE EXTENT OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES ORGANISED BY THE LOCAL DISTRICT BOARD DURING 1982-83.

AT THE MEETING, MEMBERS WILL COMMENT ON THE RECENT PROPOSALS FOR THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATION.
