PLIGHT, 15 February 1952 195 RARA AVIS: A civil type seldom seen in Europe is this PBY-5A Catalina (alias Canso) which, as we mentioned briefly last week, is now being over hauled by Field Aire raft Services, Ltd., prior to its departure for Sweden. It was purchased in Pakistan from Kalinga Airlines by the Swedish company, Helicopterfyg. This particular machine has seen considerable service in the Far East and has been a frequent visitor to Hong Kong Airport. CIVIL AVIATION . . . will advise the chairman on various aspects of the Corporation's policy in Europe, and he will also be responsible for the affairs of a number of its subsidiary and associated companies. He will continue to hold his position as deputy chairman of International Aeradio, Ltd., and will also remain on the boards of Cyprus Air ways, Ltd., and the Soci&e' Internationale des Tdldcommunica- tions Adronautiques. * * * For the exclusive benefit of their air-ferry passengers, Silver City Airways intend to form a "Continental Club," membership of which will enable passengers to stay at selected hotels on the north coast of France at specially low rates. In order to show prospective tourists how motorists or cyclists abroad can take advantage of the air ferry and spend first-class motoring or cycling holidays on the newly-reduced overseas travel allowance of £25, the company has prepared a mobile demonstration unit which is about to tour this country; it is available, on request, to visit business firms and similar organisations whose members might be interested. * * * At a conference of Indian internal air transport operators which met in New Delhi recently, agreement was reached on the proposal that 40-seater aircraft of the Vickers Viscount or Convair 340 type should be used on internal trunk routes and also for international flights to neighbouring countries. A sub-committee has now been set up to decide which particular type will be purchased and how the purchase will be financed. Most of the country's airlines are using Dakotas which, for the most part, are fairly low in flying hours and may last for a further seven to ten years. R.Ae.C.
