One will be provided in Victoria and the other in New South Wales. They will he for the use, mainly, of Air Force machines, but they will also be available to commercial aircraft. According to un official announcement, the proposal has been under discussion for more than 11! months, so it would seem that the Air Force, modern though it be. is not free from the red tape methods of old. It is apparent, too, that the tragic loss of the Southern ('loud with eight lives has hastened Hie Ihiul decision, anil more than likely as much work was crowded into the final week as was accomplished during the preceding 13 months.
