FURTHER ACTION.
Force, Far East, Squadron-Leader C. R. Keary,
O.C. Royal Air Force Station, Kai Tak, and
Major Glynn Evans, Principal Works Buildings
officer, Kai Tak, and it was unanimously
agreed that this area should be formed to
aerodrome level as soon as possible. The
question of finance was not discussed at
the conference, but as the area was for the
joint use of civil and service aviation, and
none of it for the exclusive use of either,
it seemed equitable that the cost of the
necessary work shou
hould as was the cost
regarding the original construction of the
aerodrome./be shared between the Colonial
Government and the Air Ministry,

in the opinion of the Air Commodore stationed
in Hong Kong the extension was essential for
Air Force requirements and also for the
med of wvistim
permanent civil air service.
A
It may,
however, be noted that Imperial Airways had
used the aerodrome without extension for the
experimental flights from Penang to Hong Kong.
