Fleet Air Arm News

Col. Llewellin, Civil Lord of the Admirally, stated recently in the House of Commons that the RAF. stations at Lee-on-the-Solent, Ford, Worthy Down Donibristle, and Bermuda would be transferred DA from to-day to the Admirally for the use of the Fleet Air Arın.

It was intended, he added, that the Admiralty should also take over at un early date the R.A.F. establish ments at Lympne and Southampton. The administrative control of the Fleet Air Arm will also be trans- ferred to the Admiralty to-day.

This is the logical outcome of the } decision on control of the Fleet Air Arm reached by the Government in July, 1937. The Prime Minister then announced that ship-borne air- craft would be placed under

the complete control of the Admiralty, but that all shore-based planes, In- jeluding flying-boats and other air- feraft used in co-operation with navol forces, would continue under the Frontrol of the Air Ministry,

Admiral Crippled Sues Lance-Corporal

AN ADMIRAL, once a keen athlete and big game hunter, but now crippled by injuries received in a crash between his car and an Army tank, claimed damages at Wiltshire Assizes at Salisbury recently from a lance- corporal.

Admiral Sir (Allen) Thomas Hunt, of Byne House, Warminster (Wilts), was joined in the action by his wife, Lady (Dorothy) Hunt.

They sued Lance-Corporal P. W. Wilkinson, of the 3rd Battalion. Royal Tank Regiment, who was driving the tank at Warminster on November 15 last year when there was a colli- sion.

BOY BITTEN BY ADDER

An adder bit eighteen-year-old George Ward on one of his fingers as he sat on the South Downs near Brighton recently.

Ward, who lives at Clifton- street, Brighton, run a inile fo Patcham village, and became un- conscious. He was taken to hos- pital, and treated with serum. Early to-day his condition was raid to be satisfactory.

The adder, the only poisonous sanke in England, has a zig-zag mark down the back with a binek Von the end.

World's Buttons Collected

Negligence was admitted by Wilkinson, but he denied that the admiral and his wife had suffered any damage.

43 YEARS IN NAVY Mr. H. D. Samuels, K.C., told the jury that the admirsi served for 45 years in the Navy and was the first naval officer to receive the decoration of the Companionship of the Star of India.

He had hunted big game in every country in the world except Australia, and had been a keen athlete.

He was recovering from an illness on November 15, when the car was run into by the tank, which weighed 15 tons.

The result was that he could not wilk at all now, except when he wore a steel jacket,

It was the doctor's opinion that he would remain for the rest of his life an invuild and a cripple.

Lady Hunt suffered from lack of sleep and loss of memory as a result | of the accident.
