DEAL INVOLVES

£1,000,000,000

Britain's biggest deal in property is now being negotiated: disposal of the hundreds of airfields in the country. They are worth about £1,000,000,000.

Two inter-departmental com- full-sized heavy bomber stations, mittees have got the job. The costing about £3,000,000 each, first committee decides whether a field is wanted any more for flying.

This committee consists of repre- sentatives of all ministries concerned with flying-Air Ministry Civil Aviation, Supply, Admiralty and The War Ofee.

If they say a field is not wanted, the second committee, composed of representatives of every Gover- ment department, takes over. It is they who decide who is to have the land, buildings and equipment. •

Each had one runway one and a half miles long and two others of three-quarters of a mile, at least two huge hangars, workshops, ac- commodation for more than 2,000 officers and men, drainage, water mains, electricity and an elaborate | system of night flying lights,
