Z84 9.3 Tour A.M.193 7/3 (l) Ro alternative site suitable
for flying boat anchorage at Koweit.
2. Recommendation in (a) of Z39 of January £6th did not
anticipate land being acquired for flying boat unit, but
absolutely essential that personnel of the landplane squadron
should have access owing to extreme climate. Site selected
on weather side of town for health reasons besides proximity
of suitable landing area.
3. See no reason to anticipate restriction of traffic on
road through area.
4. Moorings and pier(s) would be required for flying
boats but personnel would be accommodated with landplane unit.
5. Obviously more danger to flying boats suffering damage
if local craft are not denied in anchorage area but this is
reasonable risk to take. Similar conditions at Bahrein.
