AIR SERVICES IN BRITAIN
CHAIN OF WIRELESS STATIONS DIRECTION FINDING FACILITIES British Official Wireless (Received February 6, 5.5 p.m.) RUGBY, February 5. The Air Ministry announces that plans have been approved for the establishment of a chain of civil aviation wireless stations throughout the country, so as to afford full facilities for direction finding for communication with aircraft, and between airports. Three new stations came into operation last year in Hull, Portsmouth and Belfast. A further six will be erected in suitable parts during 1935, with the object of providing a direction-finding network covering the new internal routes as well as to serve the needs of individual aeroplanes. As the exact developments in the new air lines in Britain cannot be accurately predicted, the wireless equipment will be mounted on vehicles, capable of being easily moved from place to place. By this means, the organisation of communications can be rapidly and inexpensively readjusted as the development of air lines may require. In addition to these mobile stations, a limited number of permanent stations of higher power are to be erected.
