Nos*li ? 13 and 14 are the concern of the Government of
India•
3, Nos. 5 and 7 have been obtained - vide my Express
Letter No*C/13 of 22nd February 1935.
4 . She facilities required with which I am concerned cau
be divided into two categories:
A. Territories where we have obtained general
facilities under respective Civil Air Agreements.
This comprises Nos.l, 3, 8 and 12.
B. This comprises two areas in Abu Dhabi territory
(Nos .4 and 6) and Kalba (No .9). In the former
territory we have merely obtained certain specific
facilities limited to areas Nos.5 ana ?
Kalba territory we have obtained no facilities
at all.
5 # i agree, however, with the.-vir Ministry (paragrapn 3
of their letter of 18th January) that in the territories in
A (Kos.l, 3, 8 and 12) the extra facilities now required can
he installed as a matter of course and without raising the
subject with the Shaikhs. Should the latter make objections
we can quite fairly explain to them that the be a cons, wireless
and meteorol ogica l stations are part of the normal organization
connected with landing grouna-s •
6. Category 3 is however on a different footing'.
7, Before I give an opinion on the best way oi obtaining
facilities in territories under category B I would be grateful
if I could be assured that these represent the final -equi: ■ ~
ments of the Air Ministry, at all events for a period of say
two years . a piecemeal method of obtaining air facilities
from Shaikhs, as 1 pointed out before, renders a far roi- easy
task still more difficult, and may also prove more expensive
