AIRCRAFT REGISTER
FIRST ISSUE PUBLISHED ON SIMILAR LINES TO LLOYD’S Rugby, February 29. The first issue of a new aircraft international register, which will be to commercial aircraft what Lloyd’s is to shipping, has now been published. Its interest extends to something more than a mere register, for it’s organisers are preparing to take over from the Air Ministry the inspection of all privatelyowned British aircraft for renewal of their air-worthiness certificates. A system comparable to that which pertains to shipping is aimed at. The Board of Trade exercises a strict survey over certain classes of ships, and especially passenger vessels, and classification in Lloyd’s register forms in the main the basis of insurance rates.
If the present plans materialise, the Air Ministry Airworthiness Department, as before, will be responsible for each aircraft when issued from the factory, but the aircraft register will be responsible for seeing it is maintained in accordance with Government regulations. It is pointed out that such a scheme will provide advantages from the insurance viewpoint similar to those provided bv Lloyd’s register.—British Official .Wireless.
