PLAN FOR AUSTRALIA
CHAIN OF RADIO BEACONS
GUIDES TO AVIATORS
(Received February 25, 11.10 a.m.)
BRISBANE, This Day.
It is expected that the Minister of Defence, Sir Archdale Parkhill, will approve a plan providing for a chain of six radio beacons as soon as he receives a report on the subject.
The Minister states that the scheme will cost about £40,000. The beacons will be installed at Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Holbrook, Melbourne, and Hobart. The type under consideration is the Lorenz ultra-high frequency short-wave system, operating over a radius of a hundred mile's.
Aviation authorities consider that the plan will provide a system of air navigation equal to anything in the world. ■ ■
