Luxurious travelling now offered by the modern airship—The passengers’ saloon on the Handley-Page aeroplane. The passengers’ saloon is a single compartment extending the full width and about one-third the length of the fuselage. It is about 6ft. 6in. from the floor to ceiling. Armchairs for 17 passengers are provided. These are placed along the sides of the fuselage, all facing forward, with an unobstructed view through the winddows that extend along the sides. The saloon is entered from below through two trap doors in the floor, giving access to the centre gangway between the seats. When the under-carriage is in place the fuselage is about five feet from the ground.
