IN THE AIR.
AEROPLANES FOR AUSTRALIA. ESTABLISHING AIR FORCES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Aug. fi, Nothing has been decided regarding the types of the hundred aeroplanes Britain is giving to Australia. It is understood the delay is due to the lack of hangars. Fifty Australian pilots and observers are still in Englund studying the latest manufacturing methods. It is hoped the Government's air policy will be announced sufficiently early to enalilo them to choose whether to continue in the Australian Air Service or to return tn civil life.
It is understood tlwit Mr. Hughes lias indicated that all positions in the Air Service must, be held hy Australians. The announcement has given the utmost satisfaction. It is admitted that if future air defence includes airships and balloons the most, economical method should lie to secure English instructors temporarily.—Aus. N,Z, Cable Assoc. Received Aug. 8, 10,20 a.m.
