ORDER FOR AMERICA
Supply of Aircraft For British Service AIR MINISTRY APPROVES (Received November 12, 1.40 a.m. > London, November 11. The aeronautical correspondent of "The Times” says that the Air Ministry lisa approved negotiations for the supply of a number of Lockheed Electra airliners for the mail service between London and. Sweden, for which British. Airways received a subsidy of £20.000 a year. Hitherto it has been obligatory to only British aircraft on subsidised routes. The decision is due first to the fact that British manufacturers could not supply for many months the 20-seater planes stipulated in the subsidy agreement, and secondly to the Air Ministry’s recent order that the DHB6 aircraft on which the company intended to rely meantime must not fly at night. Lockheeds have promised delivery in four months, whereas suitable British planes are not available for nine months.
