Often in a single day, more than 20 tons of freight are now passing either inward or outward through Lon don's serial terminus at Croydon, During a recent period of nine months nearly 700 tons of urgent mails and merchandise were air- borne to and fro along the Euro pean and Indian lines of Imperial Airways.
