Getting Down to It THE American Bureau of Air Commerce has recently taken delivery ot a Lockheed 12A for testing airline equip ment. The machine will be used for testing prospective pilots, general navigational equipment, and blind-approach equipment. In its delivered state the Lockheed was fitted with de-icers for leading edges and airscrews, an automatic Pilot and two-way radio. Newfoundland Preparation pill-. Marconi radio station at Botwood, Newfoundland, is now almost ready for testing, and two smaller stations are to be erected, both at the airport (Hattie's Camp) and ™ the shore of Gander Lake, the "feeder" base. Blind approat h equipment will also be installed at the airport, and le ,™twood main station is designed to be powerful enough will CfVer the entire Atlantic crossing.

As it will be some time decided i new l,uuJl«gs can be erected the authorities have H is Jt- ? _, h an a"chorage at one end of the island estimated that at least ^100,000 will be spent in the provision of an administrative block for the accommodation of customs, immigration health and postal officials, Imperial Airways officials and officers responsible for the control of the base. It is proposed to erect a hangar approximately 150 feet by 100 feet with a concrete apron. A considerable amount of dredging over an area about 1,200 feet by 300 feet will be necessary to give the depth of water required for the moorings. Land reclamation is also involved. The moorings will be to the east of the area to be reclaimed. A small jetty is to be built and a pontoon will be used lor em barking and disembarking passengers and luggage. Passengers will be conveyed from Island View to the city by road—a dis tance of ten miles. As a start the time taken between London and Durban would be 61 days, as the schedule had been designed to avoid night flying, which will be undertaken only as a result ot ex perience gained on the route. It is anticipated that the time taken will be reduced to the originally contemplated four and a half days some eighteen months after the commencement of the service At least one flying-boat will be stationed at Durban, and Imperial Airways will transfer their southern headquarters to Durban from Johannesburg when the new ser vice comes into operation in April. The distribution of mails and passengers will necessitate the extension of flying services within the Union. There have already been several changes and a new regular service between Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth has been inaugurated, A twice or thrice-weekly service of feeder aircraft between Lourenco Marques and Johannesburg is expected to begin shortly. From Ayril 1 the Union Government and Rhodesia and Nyasaland Airways will take over the overland service from Germiston to Lusaka and a new tariff of id. per half ounce will be introduced to cover the transport of all iirst- class mail matter to all territories belonging to the Africau Postal Union, which includes all South Africa's northern neighbours.
