BRITISH AVIATION
MAJOR TURNER’S VIEWS. THE NATION LAGGING BEHIND. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 1. Major Charles Turner, reviewing British aviation in the Daily Telegraph, says that ’civil aviation is in a chastened mood, and the military aviation does not give confidence. Mr Lloyd George’s promised expansion of the Air Force is not being carried out, despite the alarming air development in other countries. Britain's only hope consists in broadening the basis of her commercial aviation, entailing quantity and production, and a reduction of the overhead charges. The secret lies in the development of inland air routes, which are maintainable at night in bad weather. Major Turner says; “Though the Air Force is in full control of Irak and is attaining an important position in India, the force is being starved. We have neglected onr opportunities of getting a share of the Middle and Southern European services, and we have done nothing towards the development of the Imperial routes.” —A. and N.Z. Cable.
