It is understood that this year's Estimates of the Air Ministry will provide for increased expenditure ing-boat development and the sub- on civil aviation, largely for fly- silising of new commercial air- ways. An extension of inland air lines is under contemplation. If agreement can be reached, with the Irish Free State, a regular service to Belfast and Dublin will be opened.

In addition, negotiations have been going on regarding the in- auguration of a regular flying-boat line between Norway and Sweden and either the Mouth of the Thames or some suitable port on the East Coast.

The Air Ministry, it is stated un officially, has decided also to dere- lop on an extensive scale large commercial flying-boats. Some of these are already on the stocka, and others will be laid down'during the coming financial year.

Although these new planes will be

of experimental types, they will, if the trials are successful, be built in considerable number. They will

be all-metal and most of them will be able to carry between 40 and 50 passengers.
