SEPTEMBER 4, 1919 AERODROMES FOR CIVIL USE THE following lists of aerodromes open to civil aviation are issued as an addition to the lists recently published. It will be seen that in the majority of cases the aerodromes referred to below can only be considered as possible emergency landing grounds. Attention is again drawn to the fact that these lists are purely provisional and subject to alteration or amendment from time to time :— List C (2).—Stations temporarily retained for Service Purposes. It should be assumed that no facilities normally exist at these stations for dealing with civil aircraft. The aero dromes, however, may be considered as emergency landing grounds. Aerodrome.
