No.C 19099/26.
Dear Smythies,
Downing Street,
Deceber, 1926,
392
Your letter of the 3rd overber about aircraft flying over Hongkong. You will see that in the penultimate paragraph of his letter of the 28th October Walkin said that the Hong Kong Aircraft Ordinance 191? "would only come in if the aeroplane flew over Hong Kong without dropping bombs and in the abuence of ary roulations made inder Seation 4 (2) I think it would be difficult
to justify firing on the neroplane in the circumstances
If this is the onse it sems to us that the sconer
regulations are made under Section 4 (2) the better
it will be, and we propose to ask the Governor if he has
not alreary issued regulations to do so as soon as possible
If you agree, ze should be grateful if you
would supply us with a model draft. You will see that the
regulations must (1) designute the officer to make the
signals (2) prescribe the signals to be made (3) prescribe
the action to be taken by the aircraft when such signals
