In August 1970 the Hong Kong Government invited the Royal Air Force to formalise the arrangements whereby annualy examiners from its Air Support Command Examining Unit and the Central Flying School would be sent to test aircrew, to renew their operating categories and ratings and to report on standards of the unit in general. These visits assisted in maintaining the high standards of the unit The following is a record of visiting examiners.
