Portsmouth

To Be Huge

Flying Base

APPROVES LARGE

EXPENDITURE

Portsmouth, Feb. 23.

A scheme to establish a great sea- plane port here, costing £1,250,000, has been accepted by the City Council.

The plan entails the building of a barrage, with the object of land-lock- ing Langstone Harbour, and nuking it a huge lake. It is proposed that an Empire flying boat base shall be established there.

The Air Ministry, it is revealed, is ready lo contribute £563,000 towards the project, and will also guarantee the income of at least £30,000 a year for fifteen years.

Portsmouths existing airport will be sold, after 75 acres is deducted for playing fields.

Supporters of the Portsmouth scheme say it will make that seaport the first air base as well as the great-. est naval base in the world.---Neuter.
