No. license' was required to export aeroplanes from this country. If, however, the Aeroplanes were fitted with any armament such as machine guns or machine gun mountings, a license would Ibe required before that armament could be exported. r.,3 No application for a license for the export of such material to the v Spviet Government had been received recently.
