    “Air Mechanic F. B. Martin, a member of the Mutual Help Lodge of Good Templars, was expected home by the Kaisar-i-Hind, with the Australian Flying Corps, but a day or two before the ship left, he decided to accept an offer of six months’ training in a school for aeroplane mechanics, and will not now return until early next year”.
