A provisional agreement had already been initialled for taking the first step in securing an aeroplane route to India. The route had already been surveyed and he hoped to make a beginning next year. He hoped eventually to sec the Cape to Cairo route, which Cobham was going to fly this winter, in the fast service flight route.
