The machines to carry on such a service would have to take a minimum load of 15 (ons. That was as far as a small airship was concerned but the airships would be larger in the future.

If there were not, then there was no hope whatever of having such a service. "At the present moment Great Britain had aeroplanes for short distance and high speed work and dirigibles for long distance and moderate speed work. During the last great railway strike dirigibles were used for the carrying of mails and aeroplanes for passengers.
