Overhead Cables and Aircraft r IN connection with the questions asked in the House°: j-°mmons on the 6th instant concerning the danger to '•'• crat* fr°m overhead high tension cables, it is of interest •at the Civil Aviation Section of the London Chamber of ^.iminerce has had this subject under review, and has r.'r">^ttet^ *ne following suggestions for the consideration !. .. Alr Ministry: (a) That information as to the •:-;tion of new high tension cables should be circulated ^ ougn the usual Air Ministry channels, (b) That their (T I°A- Uld be marked on l-in. ordnance survey mapslu7 'Editions). ( c) That they should be marked atfe-\t and during conditions of poor visibility.
