GIANT AIRSHIPS.
GREAT BRITAIN’S SCHEME
OTTAWA, March 23,
Gigantic airships with lines encircling the globe, with fast aeroplanes feeding them, was the scheme outlined by Air Vice-Marshal Sir Sefton Brancker, Director of Civil Aviation in the British Air Ministry, in an address at the Empire Club at Toronto. He declared that Britain was developing two gigantic airships with a capacity of 6,000,000 cubic feet for a service between India and London, which would eventually include Australia. This in turn would bring Canada within 25 or 30 hours of England. The new ships would carry 100 passengers- —A. and N.Z. cable.
