VALUE OF LIQUOR
Needed in Aircraft COLD AND AIR-SICKNESS (Rec. November 26, 11 p.m.) London, November 26. The question of drinking in aircraft was raised before the Licensing Commission by Major Beaumont, representing Imperial Airways. He argued in favour of intoxicants in air-liners, experience having shown that they were required by passengers, not wholly in connection with meals, but also because of air sickness. The company considered that the sale of liquors in aircraft was a necessity and that it should also be possible to supply passengers before a start and after an arrival. He would leave the pilot free to take drink during a flight if he wanted it. Pilots occasionally required a stimulant owing to the intense cold at high altitudes. The majority of pilots, be said, were teetotallers.
