In making this stipulation the Air Council
do not anticipate that any need will arise for the imposition of restrictions, other than those necessary
to ensure the safe use of the aerodrome, except possibly
during periods when the Base is in use by the Fleet Air
i.e., approximately for seven months during the
year but they desire to reserve the right to withdraw
the facilities at one month's notice, should the use of
the aerodrome for the purpose of a Flying Training

base for the Fleet Air Arm in Chinese Waters and as a
civil air port.
The Air Council would be glad if the Governor
of Hong Kong could be informed accordingly by cable. ▲ copy of this letter is being sent to the
Foreign Office.
