Conclusion: 



An endeavour has been made in this report to present briefly the out- 

 standing essential facts of the Provincial Air Service Operations, Flying and 

 Reconditioning, under my direction. 



Incomplete indeed would be this report without a tribute to the many 

 other services which have helped. The untiring efforts and ready co-operation 

 of the Observing Staff have never been wanting. Worthy of mention are the 

 active support and good will of all Foresters. They have placed their knowledge 

 freely at the disposal of the Flying Service, and displayed the greatest patience 

 when service has not been forthcoming. 



A tribute must also be paid to the personnel, both flying and ground. No 

 force or service has been better served. Much of their work is carried out under 

 great difficulties. The year's record achieved is, I believe, a standing tribute 

 to their devotion to flying, their energy and initiative.
