FUTURE POSSIBILITIES. CALCUTTA. Feb. 2. Major-General Sir William Brancker (Director of Civic Aviation), who has recovered from the illness which detained him at Calcutta, reached Rangoon by boat to-day. He declared that ho would fly back to England after a further consultation with the Government of India in regard to an air service between England and India, with extensions to Australia and the Straits Settlements. Major-General Brancker is very optimistic as to the possibility of a service between the West and the East at a very early date, though he admitted that they had got to learn by experience the effects on such a service of the monsoons. Captain Cobham. who is now in Calcutta, will fly his aeroplane to Rangoon to-morrow to rejoin Major-General Brancker.
