§ Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for Air how many men specially trained on radiolocation instruments are retained, at a place of which he has been informed, as unfit for service overseas; how many of them came from 73 Wing; and why some of them are being retained at that place and are not being returned to their units.
§ Sir A. SinclairSeven radar operators and one radar mechanic who were found permanently unfit for overseas service were temporarily retained at the unit in question. The seven operators have now been re-posted in accordance with Service requirements. The radar mechanic is being retained as an instructor. One of these eight airmen previously served in No. 73 Wing.
