1926 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 85 



Demonstration Flights: 



During the operating season of 1925 demonstration flights were carried out 

 in various areas of the Province and a valuable service rendered in this respect. 



In Conclusion: 



An endeavour has been made in the foregoing to submit very briefly the 

 statistical statement of the work performed during the operating season of 1925 

 by the Provincial Air Service. A very gratifying feature of the season just 

 quoted is the closer relationship and co-operation existing between the ground 

 and air forces. There is an active spirit of goodwill between these two branches. 

 This spirit, more than anything else, will give the Service a solid foundation, 

 a record of useful service and a quicker road to public confidence. 



It remains to pay a tribute to the energy and devotion of the Provincial 

 Air Service personnel, both operating and ground staff. Their work was carried 

 •out faithfully and efficiently and often under very severe weather conditions. 

 No government, state, or commercial enterprise has been better served by its 

 flying personnel. 



In the final analysis, the successful operation of an air force depends not so 

 much upon equipment and capital as it does upon securing the loyal co-operation 

 of every member of the service staff."
