It will run roughly parr"el to the coast, at a dis

tance of about eight miles from the shore, from Kinnaird

Head in Scotland to the Thames Estuary and provide not only safety for British and neutral shipping, but traps. fer German submarines and planes as well.

Scores of thousands of mines will go to the making of this explosive barrier. The mines will be so spaced that by the laws of mathematical probability it should be. impossible for a hostile craft to pass through them.

Up to now the shores of Britain have only been protected by three comparatively small minefields one some 85 miles long and 20 miles deep off Flamborough Head, another off the Thames Estuary and a third in the Straits of Dover..

Now the Flamborough Hand held is to be incorporated into the great new 500-mile belt.

The first section of the belt is being laid from Kinnaird Heud to the Tyne, whence it will swallow up the old Flamborough Head field and then continue through a third dog leg shaped field to, Orford Ness where it will link up with another small existing field which stretches to the Thames Estuary.
