EMPIRE AIRWAYS
Flying-Boat Service CALCUTTA TO NEW ZEALAND (Received 27, 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 26. Tn connection with the proposal for a flying-boat service from Darwin to Sydney advanced at the Sydney conference, the 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 will have much hope of fulfilment in view of the Australian attitude, but emphasise 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
