estimated at some £200,000, but wich the Governor now states is likely to be considerably higher.
It has also been agreed to construct a full sized hangar of Service pattern to cost approximately £52,000, the ex,ense being equally shared by the Colonial Government and the Air Ministry Steel work for the hangar would be ordered in this
country.
On the recommendation of an Air Ministry expert who was sent out to examine the lay-out of the aerodrome, extensions to the aerodrome were proposed which would have cost about £23,000 made up as follows:-
(a) Resumptions
-£8,000
(b) Forming Reclamation including completion of Sea walls,
Nullahs, surfacing and drainage
-£12,400
(c) Covering of Nullans
-25,600
and
(d) Aitional road
£1,000
Total
£25,000
Less cost of a Flight Camp
no longer necessary - £2,000
Net total - £23,000.
Agreement on these extensions has not been
reached as neither; the Colony nor the Air Ministry
were prepared to pay for them, but the Governor has beer aased to Lake such steps as may be possible to prevent the disposal of lends, etc., for purposes snich would prejudice the scheme being carried out
at some future date.
