developed for the first half of the year. Due to the
sudden collapse of hostilities with Japan it was evident
cowards the latter half of 1945 that the frequency of
services would tend to decline, especially in regard
to the R.A.F. Flying Boat Refors Programme which was
planned by and for otiose handling the Corporation was
responsible.
The Corporation's scheduled Sunderland services
which transit Bahrain were extended from Calcutta to
Rangoon in October.
In the first half of the year the greater
portion of the passengers was Service personnel - transient,
embarking and disembarking. Towards the latter part
of the year this proportion diminished and the majority
of passengers carried was civilian, both Eastbound and'

It is expected that a Trunk Route Service
will shortly be introduced from the United Kingdom
to the Far East calling en route at Bahrain thrice
weekly.
A Lockheed Lodestar Service may be instituted
once weekly between Cairo and Bahrain touching at
Basra, Baghdad and Damascus.
