Mention too must be made of the sportsmanship of the other teams who didn't hesitate to help on the basics when asked, Our congratulations NO on this fine achievement. Editor. HANG-UPS ! OUR Viersen correspondent tells me that two at our hang gliding fanatics have ordered new aircraft and are heading for battle versus the Germans in the shape of a * Mini-Inter- national ' at Trier where the British Army twenty meets an equal number of German pilots in * bombing' (with bags of flour) a twenty foot target from seven hundred and fifty feet, precision landing and distance and slalom tasks. The Germans are already practising hard every weekend but our fliers will have to take pot luck on the day, since they are scattered far and wide over the length and breadth of BAOR. They don't seem worried needless to say! JSPC Bad Lippspringe gave our fliers a day's parachute presentation and couldn't have been more helpful. With the benefit of their expertise and equipment our boys feel more than optimistic about their chances against the 4 old enemy.' Happily, enmity is the last emotion apparent between the respective teams, and the accent on friendship in the sport is most marked. We hope to report the result in the next issue.

He served from August 1940 until July 1978 with a short break during the war. He was with the Ordnance Branch HQBF for most of these years and his experience and personality will be missed.

KONC We at Gieves and Hawkes may enjoy a sense of history because we dressed the Iron Duke and Nelson, invented the Shako, the cavalry head-dress, were first to make the Solar Topee and have been tailor- ing uniforms for over two-hundred years, but we're certainly not hidebound! Each garment—uniform or suit—is cut and tailored by hand to our own exacting standards. We have, after all, built a tradition of success by providing clothes which, for generations, have been accepted as the very best . . . Today we not only continue to tailor uniforms and suits to the highest standards, we also offer a fine choice of ready-to-wear clothes. Suits, blazers, trousers, knitwear, shirts, ties and shoes in classical and modern styles; including Britains largest range of Chester Barrie suits and top coats, all await you at Savile Row.
