do not anticipate that any need will arise for the imposition of restrictions, other than those necessary

i.e., approximately for seven months during the

the facilities at one month's notice, should the use of

the aerodrome for the purpose of a Flying Training

civil air port.

The Air Council would be glad if the Governor

of Hong Kong could be informed accordingly by cable. ▲ copy of this letter is being sent to the

Foreign Office.
