EMPIRE AIR ROUTES
EFFICIENT FLYING BOAT FOR DISTANCE SERVICE TO KEEP OFF FOREIGN SOIL United P.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 9.30 a.m. LONDON, Thursday. Addressing the United Service Institution Group, Air Vice-Marshal Higgins said: "Flying boats that are now being built are expected to be able to fly 2,000 sea’miles, carrying a full load and reserve fuel. They should easily be able to fly front England to Malta, the nearest point on the air route from India to Australia. Captain Courtney said it was essential to organise a network of air routes to all parts of the Empire, passing over British territory. The Air Ministry would not be satisfied until it could reach any part of the Empire without landing on foreign territory.
