The magazine committee is presided over by Air Commodores W.L Freebody and subsequently Air Commodore R.J Pilgrim. Squadron leaders, flight lieutenants and officers make up the editorial staff. b/w photographs of sporting events, club activities, parades and camps fill the pages alongside staff notes, prize winners, obituaries, church news, staff movements, letters to the editor and much, much more.
