8o FLIGHT. JANUARY 20, 1938. For the Marine Airport THE term " airports " covers both landand land-sea alighting-grounds, andno review of airport equipment would bo complete without some mention of thesuecial liaison marine craft which some far- sighted boat-builders have designed. The British Power Boat Co., Hythe,Southampton, whose high-speed craft for the R.A.F. are so well-known, offer a widerange of boats for marine and civil aircraft * duties, ranging from small planing dinghiesto a high-speed ocean-going reconnaissance launch for marine air base survey. Tomention a few intermediate types, there is a general-service tender specially designedlor rough-water work; the " S.P." Empire control tender for passengers; t'he " Sea "Tug " (a general-purpose craft for policing alighting and take-off areas, towing aircraft,transporting equipment, etc.); refuelling dinghies, and large and small crash rescuetenders. Vosper^ Ltd., Portsmouth, have in recentyears specialised in the production of two types of marine craft for use in connectionwith flying boats or seaplanes.
