Of course we are doing everything in our power. The truth is, without them aircraft cannot remain operational and cannot go into the air. There is a great deficiency, mainly owing to the fact that we are short of training accommodation. In the early stages after the war we had to put people who were required for demobilisation and other purposes into that accommodation and inasmuch as these trades entail very long training they have fallen behind.
