tnese tests will be followed by a flight to India with the Secretary of State for Air, Lord Thomson, as one of the passengers. Although both vessels are* of about the same capacity and are larger than any airship ever launched, they differ considerably in construction. The same crew will test both vessels.
RIOO, which lias been built at Howden, Yorkshire, will be brought to Cardington and moored to the mast erected there before more important flight trials begin. Both vessels have, while undergoing sheds tests during the past month, been air borne or partly air borne. The navigation problems of these 700 feet long airships are being carefully studied by specially selected officers and crew.
