Become A Vcio Expert

In One Easy Lesson!

Schoolchildren around the world are well familiar with the BOAC VCIO. Not so their counterparts scattered through out the outback of Australia —pupils of the "schools of the air."

Their lessons are conducted by radio and they see their teacher only once a year when he does an eight-week tour by Land Rover of the outlying sheep stations where his pupils live.

The aeroplanes these children know are dad's single-engine runabout or those of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Now they have one great ambition— to fly on the VCIO. This was inspired recently by a BOAC captain flying over head accidentally tuning in their class room frequency.

With lessons superseded for a while, he was bombarded with questions on the VCIO by the children who are all experts in radio talking procedures. Now all are experts on the VCIO as well.
