Hastings on the "Lift" ''THE eight Haadley -Page Hastings of-*• No. 47 Squadron, Transport Com- mand, flew to Germany last week toincrease the R.A.F. supply-carrying capacity in the air-lift to Berlin. Theyare based at Schleswigland, an airfield used by the Luftwaffe as a base for nightfighters and V-i-carrying Heinkel ms. A phenomenal amount of work is beingdone to prepare the airfield by the end of the year as a base for nearly all theBritish four-engined aircraft used on the air-lift. Runways are being extendedand reinforced, flood lighting installed and a large hangar erected. Petrol, oil,and coal for Berlin will be flown from Schleswigland; and it is expected thatmore Hastings squadrons will soon be operating. Photographs of the aircraftappear 011 this page.
