Flying Boat Service from Calcutta to N.Z. Envisaged
Received noon to-day. LONDON, Feb. 26. In connection with the proposed flving boat service from Darwin to Sydney advanced at the Sydney Air Mail Conference, tho Australian Press Association is informed that it is a Government scheme with a political background rather than an Imperial Airways project. Flying authorities question whether the scheme lias much hope of fulfilment in view of the Australian attitude, but emphasises that it must be regarded, not as an isolated unit, but as part of a comprehensive scheme for the development of marine airways, envisaging flying boats all the way from Calcutta to New Zealand. The scheme would synchronise with Imperial Airways’ plans for the construction of long range flying boats far larger than those in use at present.
