(Special Air Mail Service)

London, Feb. 21. be concluded that the present fleet of 30 ligers must be donbled, but it is also to be noted that the loads offering in 1937 will be much in- creased. At present the average mail load is about 1 tons a week ontwards and rather less inwards. When all Empire mails are sent by air the weekly loads will be about 20 tons outwards and 12 tons in- wards

Orders have already been placed by Imperial Airways for three new aircraft as prototypes of the fleet which will be needed when the proposals for carrying all first-class mails by air within the Empire are put into effect. These are two dy- ing-boats and one land aeroplane, A second land machine will prob- ably be ordered soon. From such 'information, as to type, and load,

as is available. It has become fairly į certain that fully 50 new liners will be needed in the expansion pro- gramme; that these will cost little less than £2,000,000 and that a very large sum will have to be spent in arranging for the care and main tehance of this fleet.

In addition to this there will have to be a large increase in operating stan. At a reasonable estimate, it would appear that more than 100 extra pilots will be needed, and as a year's training at least is required to turn the aver- age applicant into a skilled air- line pilot, steps will have to be taken towards the end of this year

This will demand a much bigger capacity, and provision will have to be made also for foreign mails The polley of developing the big- scale flying unit, which has been pursued by Imperial Airways means that the question of capa- city cannot be transiated directly into numbers of aircraft. That is determined, in the first place, by frequency of services, is influenced by the distribution of mall loads through the week, and by the size of the aircraft which will be avail-;. able.
