FAR EAST AND AUSTRALIA
TRANSATLANTIC, TOO
(British Official Wireless.) ■ (Ecceived September 5, 11 a.m.) EUGBY, September 4. A report on the progress of civil aviation in 1933 issued by the Directorate of Civil Aviation at the Air Ministry, shows that as a result of tho extensions of the India service of the Imperial Airways Limited to Colombo, Rangoon, and Singapore 8500 miles of a total of 11,000 miles in tho air route between England and Australia are already in operation, while the arrangements for the remaining link to Australia are now being completed by the Commonwealth Government.
Tho weekly air mail in tho ten-day SOOO-milc London-Capo Town service is reported to have operated with satisfactory regularity during tho year. The investigations were continued and are still being followed up regarding tho possibility of operating a transatlantic air-mail service, and arrangements are under discussion with Newfoundland and Canadian Airways Limited. At the same time a proposal for co-operation with American interests will, it is hoped, result in the early institution of a service between Bermuda and the United States.
Referring to private and club flying the report states that the. number of light aeroplane clubs in operation at the end of 1933, including 18 in receipt of Government assistance, was approximately 60.
