'^vwU^,
We liave heard further from the Foreign Office about
the new Sharjah Air Agreement, of which the draft appears
to be nearly ready. They ask hov/ever one or two questions
on the answers to which we should be grateful for your
advice.
2. In the course of his recent call at the Foreign
Office Shaikh Khalid stated on behalf of his (late) uncle
that no payments of landing fees had been made by the
British Overseas Airways Corporation and that nothing
had been received in rent for the aerodrome. The landing-
fees are collected by International Aeradio Limited who
have been instructed to pay to the Ruler the Rs. 10 per
aircraft to which he is entitled under Article 3 of the
existing agreement. The correspondence copied to you
under our reference 49/7/4S-^QfOctober 23rd, 1948 refers.
We should be grateful if you cdtSb=d^iet us know whether ^ ^ .
there is any basis to these complain^^^ S-S'? q f=. iz/zf

3. Shaikh Khalid also refprfed to the promise of rifles
to be presented to the Sjjarfkh on the conclusion of the new
agreements (our letter 81/13/49 of May 20th, 1949 to you).
It was arranged at the time that the 74 rifles and 100
rounds of ammunition per rifle should be held by the
Officer Commanding, Royal /dr Force in Sharjah pending
their delivery to the Shaikh. Would you please ask Wilton
to enquire whether they are in Sharjah and in a suitable
condition to be handed over ?
