NEW AIRSHIPS.
BRITISH GOVERNMENTS SCHEME. ENGLAND TO INDIA SERVICE. Cabinet approval, it is understood, is to be given to recommendations of a sub-committee of the Cabinet which will enable experiments to be made with airships of greater size, speed, and power than any produced hitherto (states the "Daily Mail”). The Air Ministry is to construct a big new airship station for experimental work, and will build a very large, long-range airship, with which the Navy will make tests, using it as an “auxiliary air cruiser” for ocean reconnaissance. Commander Burney’s organisation is to concentrate on a new giant commercial airship for an experimental service between England and India. This ship, when it has demonstrated its capabilities, will be taken over by the Government, but later on, when a regular commercial Empire airship service. State-aided, is proved feasible, the company that will ran it can buy this airship back from the Government.
