In addition to training volunteers and Royal Air Force personnel, the school trains a large number of civil ian pupils. Courses are available for every type of British licence for both pilots and engineers, and vary from three weeks to three years. e A unique feature of the school is that its parent company, the Far East Aviation Company Ltd., is always handling various new types of aircraft which are shipped out from England, and assembled and tested in Hongkong before delivery to customers in different parts of China; thus and engineering pupils receive an excellent opportunity of examining new and diferent types of aircraft and engine design.
T noticed a class of young men working on the assembly of a Cierva autogiro which, by the way, was the first aircraft of this type to fly in China. In another part of the hanger, T saw a group of youths putting the touches to a Miles Falcon. Mr. Neyle informed me that some of the second year students could claim experience on no fewer than a dozen different types of British manu-1 aircraft. The aircraft engineering student certainly gets his money worth anda very thorough training into the bargain.
