TO BASRA ONLY
BRITISH AIR TRAVELLERS EQUIPMENT DELAYED (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 10.35 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. The “Daily Telegraph” says that although the British airline to India will operate from March 30, it will be impossible forthwith to carry passengers beyond Basra, though mails and freight will be carried the whole length of the route. The reason is the absence of wireless equipment, meteorological service, rest-houses and ground organisation, due to the long negotiations with Persia before the attainment of the recent agreement. The necessary equipment was sent to Persia in 1926, and later was withdrawn, owing to Persia’s attitude.
