FLYING-BOAT SERVICE
DARWIN TO SYDNEY BASIS OF THE PROPOSAL LONDON. Feb. 26 In connection with the proposal for a flying boat service from Darwin to Sydney, advanced at the Sydney conference by the British delegates, 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 has much hope of fulfilment in view of tho Australian attitude, but it is emphasised that it must be regarded not as an isolated unit but as part of the comprehensive scheme of development of tho Empire's marine airways. It also envisages flying boats all the way from Calcutta to New Zealand, and the scheme would synchronise with Imperial Airways plans for the construction of long-range flying boats far larger than are at present in use.
