AIRSHIP DEVELOPMENT.
THE EMPIRE SCHEME. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, May 28. Commander Burney has purchased the Government aerodrome at Howden, Yorkshire, comprising 400 acres and two airship sheds. The parts of the Air Ministry airship built by Vickers. Ltd., at Crayford, will be assembled here by Commander Burney, who claims that he can overcome the chief defects in the airship revealed in war-time. Mr. A. H. Aahbolt, Agent-General for Tasmania, states that, after hearing the discussion in the House of Lords and House of Commons in relation to airships, he is strongly of the opinion that, while the proposals do not meet with the approval of a considerable number of members, they are likely to be accepted because they are the first definite commitment any Government has placed before the rfouse for confirmation.
