Flying boats had a distinct ad- vantage over aeroplanes, and the North of England, was more likely to be the chief air port than London. To start a service of four flying boats, the cost would be £125,000, and the total expenses would be a quarter of a million. The carrying of mails alone would amount to a very considerable "hidden, subsidy." All the towns interested should meet and discuss the situation.

It was highly probable that the line would pass through Liver- pool, and would in the end result in an express service between Liver-| pool. and Hull Such a line would draw on the most important] parts of the Industrial, north.
