Hon hie Marquis of Douglas and Clydesdale, Air Commodore Fellowes with

Shepherd of the Mount Everest Expedition landed en route to Karachi to refuel

A Moth Aeroplane No. G-249-0-EBUZ with Lieutenant I. MacGregor from
London Airforce landed at Bandar Abbas on 23rd March 1933 and took off
on hour later.
Two Gipsy Moths G-ABZK and G-ABWK with Air Commoder, Fellowes,
Mrs. Fellowes and Messrs. McIntyre and Edison arived from Karachi on their
return from the mount Everest Expedition at 3-30 p.m. on the 6th May and left
for Bushire the following day.
Mr. Guliver of the Burma Oil Company arrived from Karachi in his plane
AV-ACR on the afternoon of the 19th May and took off for Baghdad at 5-30 a.m.

Mrs. M. R. Bonney arrived at Bandar Abbas in her Gipsy Moth No. IV.-
H.U.P.V. from Australia via Karachi at 3-30 p.m. on the 2nd June 1933 and left
for England via Bushire at 6 a.m. on the 3rd June 1933.
Mr. James Woods arrived at Bandar Abbas in Gipsy Moth No. VH-UPD
“ The Spirit of Western Australia ” from Austraha via Karachi on the 26th at
4-30 p.m. en route to the United Kingdom. He was anxious to take off at 5 p.m.
on the 27th July but the Police authorities refused to endorse his passport on the
grounds that he failed to obtain a visa from the Persian Consul at Karachi in
spite of Mr. Woods statement that he had been to see the Persian Consul at
Karachi and the latter had told him that his passport was in order and he
could proceed via Karachi. Eventually his passport was endorsed at 11 a.m.
on the 27th, after a written guarantee from His Majesty’s Consulate to pay any
fine which might be imposed. As it was then too late to proceed to Bushire,
Mr. Woods postponed his departure for the next day, when just as the aeroplane
was taking off at 5 a.m. the under carriage collapsed. Mr. Woods wired to
Karachi for spare parts to be dropped by any French or Dutch planes at the
aerodrome. After receiving the required spares from Karachi through one of
the Royal Dutch Air Mail planes, Mr. James Woods took off for Bushire on the
30th August 1933.
Messrs. Pattison and Deale of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, Limited,
Abadan, arrived by Company’s plane on the 18th August and left the same even
ing on a visit to Kishm Island. The plane left for its hearquarters at day break

British Interests.
On or about the 1st of August, the Persian gunboat “ Paiang ” touched at
British Basidu and hauled down the Union Jack which was flying from the flag
staff standing on the ground. The matter was reported to one of H. M.’s ships
which arrived on the spot a day later and re-hoisted the flag and landed an
armed guard. The general public have opined that if the Persian Government
wished to claim Basidu as Persian territory the action of hauling down the flag
was both improper and impolite.
