PROPOSED WORK AND FARES.

52

It will be noted that the 'Company' has five machines,

3 "Canberra"

2 "Moth"

(6 passengers € 200 lbs each & 300 lbs of

Mail or freight, OR 1500 lbs of Mail or

Freight).

(One passenger and luggage, OR 200 lbs of

Hail or Freight.)

It is suggested that "Canberra" No.III shall be held in reserve,

སྐ

so the estimated work that the Company can carry out in any one

year is arrived at by making full use of 2 "Canberra" and 2 "Moth".

It is not considered necessary to have a reserve "Hoth" as these

machines will not be used on the regular Air Routes, and will only

fly 600 hours each per annum.

The flying hours for the Machines should be as follows:-

No. I. "Canberra"

1200 hours per annum

No.II. "Canberra"

1300 hours per annum

No. I. "Moth"

600 hours per annum

600 hours per annum

No.II. Moth

Total number of hours flying carried out

CANBERRA No.I.

3700 per annum.

It is suggested that this machine should fly 1200 hours per annum, and that it should be employed on a daily return journey to CANTON, and a daily return journey to LACAQ, as the average time for the single journey to CANTON will be ONE HOUR, and the average time for the single journey to MACAO will be HALF

AN HOUR, this machine will spend on an average THREE HOURS per

DAY in the air on this work, or a total of 1095 Hrs. per annum,

leaving 105 hours flying for other work so as to make the total

agreed of 1200 hours.

CANBERRA No.II.
