(Received February 29, at noon.)
The first issue of the new Aircraft International Register, which will bo to commercial aircrait what Lloyd’s is to shipping, has now been published. Its interest extends to something more than a mere register, for its organisers are preparing to take over from the Air Ministry the inspection of all privately owned British aircraft for the renewal of their airworthiness certificates. A system comparable to that which pertains to shipping is aimed at. The Board of Trade exercises a strict survey over certam classes of ships, and especially passenger vessels, and tho classification in Lloyd’s Register forms in the main the basis of insurance rates. If tho present plans materialise tlx© Air Ministry Airworthiness Department, ns 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 the Government regulations. It is pointed out that such a scheme will provide advantages from an insurance viewpoint similar to those provided by Lloyd’s Register
