ANTI-SUB DEFENCE

MOST IMPORTANT

A significant announcement in the British Government's White Paper on Defence disclosed that the Short Seamew anti-submarine aircraft is to go into service with Coastal Command of the Royal Air Force, as well as the Royal Navy.

The announcement emphasises the importance of anti-submarine defence at a time when potential enemy submarine fleets are larger and better-equipped than ever before.

The Seamew is also capable of performing efficiently a number of other roles at low cost, including close reconnaissance, coastal defence, communications, survey and gunnery spotting dutles.

A tactical advantage derived from the Scamew's low wing-loading is it

to turn in an ub- ability usually tight cirele round a submarine after contact has been made. Consequently, an attack can follow before the submarine has time to dive.

Unlike most long-range vir- craft, the 300 LR is also suitable for economic operations much shorter routes. Over dis tances of as little or 600 miles, the long-range Britannia will be profitable for its operator, and Ita flexibility is shown by the fact that it will also operate economically between London and New York-3,500 miles.

In a year of flying operations, assuming the same filisation Neet of rate for both types,

ten Britannias will do the work of fourteen of the best piston- engined aircraft which will then be available.

Looking still further ahead, BOAC has ordered 80 Bristol BE25 constant-power engines, for eventuai installation In Britannias, replacing the present engines.

The BEZS will be ready for service in about 1959, and it will be run on bench trials for the first time this year,
