This diagram puts you inside what Imperial Airways think la the most luxurious airliner in the world. Notice that armchairs for Lounging or sitting at table disappear to make way for real beds at night. Amidships, nolsiest part of the plane, are the itchens, mall compartments. There is room for twenty-seven passengers on day-flying routes. At night Ensign becomes a "sleeper" for twenty. Planes for the European service-like the one tested--carry forty- two passengers.
