Kong aerodrome where a service unit is at present

stationed and where the possibilities of sudden local

disturbance appear to be greater. The Air Council agree

nevertheless that the restrictions proposed for singapore

should be applied to Hong Kong to the extent that (1)

no photographic apparatus, explosives, arms or ammunition

of war should be carried in any civil aircraft and (2)

civil aircraft should be required to comply with any

regulations which may be issued defining corridors of

approach to and departure from the aerodrome.

In regard to paragraph 2 of your letter under

reply, the Air Council are also not informed what connection,

if any, there is between the proposal now referred to and

that which was submitted in the despatch from Hong Kong

of the 27th August.

A copy of this letter and of your letter under

reply are being sent to the War Office.

I am,

sir,

Your obedient Servant,
