ROYAL AIR FORCE
BIG BUILDING PROGRAMME
(British Official Wireless.)
(Received March 30, noon,)
RUGBY, March 29,
A further section of the biggest building programme that any Government Department has been called on to carry out is now being launched by the Works Directorate of the Air Ministry. It is the next step in the further progressive expansion of the* Royal Air Force lately approved by the Government.
The programme provides for the construction of additional Air Force sta-
tions and maintenance units distributed throughout England and Scotland at a total cost in the coming financial year of nearly £11,000,000. They will be used principally for defence training establishments and for maintenance purposes required, under an extended expansion scheme.
The provision of new stations will also entail the planning and making of roads and the installation of electrical and water-supply systems on a large scale. •
