FLYING BOATS
(Press Assn.—
experts say essential for the empire services
-By Telegraph — Copyright).
London, November 16 Flight, the Royal Aero Club's organ is publishing a series of articles by Mr. Hudson Fysh, emphasising the unsuitability of single twin-engined machines for the Timor Sea crossing, also drawing attention to the risk of cheese-paring methods, and paying tribute to the sense of security provided by machine such as the Astrea. Editorially commending Mr. Fysh's absence of prejudice in favour of single engined machines, despite the Quanta's success therewith, Flight says: "Nevertheless we must not abandon the belief that flying-boats would be preferable throughout between Darwin and Calcutta, where their hulls would add something to the safety of the route. It is vital to the Empire that flying boats should be developed to the utmost. It is the business of the Government rather than a commercial company to encourage types which may be of imperial importance in the future but which may not at present be the best payers of dividends.
