recently all airship plans visualised a beginning on the Eastern route from England to Egypt, India and Australia, and it is well known that the Ministry has erected mooring towers at Ismailia and, Karachi.
But this depended upon one idea- that it would be possible to employ engines that do not run on petrol, because it involves risk to carry petrol on an airship into tropical The heavy oil enginer and heat. kerosene hydrogen engines are, how. ever, not sufficiently far advanced for more definite pronouncement to be made on this subject. It may have been this fact that turned Commander BUENEY's attention to the Atlantic route, though, of · course, in any case that is by, far the most profitable. And so for the time being we must leave the engines and artificers busy on the construction of 2.100 at Howden, and wait for the launching of the giant airship.
