Dear Sir,
Some time ago I verbally requested Mr. Service
of the A.P.O.C. to let me have a report on the aerodrome
at Kuweit on his next visit there. He told me that he
frequently called there to see his Company f s Agent, and
he accordingly sent in to me a report which stated that
although the ground as a whole was level and hard, there
were some rat warrens which required filling in and stamping
down; that he would ask his Company’s Agent to obtain an
estimate for the work which would then be forwarded to me.
I have now received a letter from Messrs The
Mesopotamia Persia Corpn. Ltd. at Basra through the
medium of our Station Superintendent at Basra, dated the
31st ultimo, which is to the effect that Mr. Service
instructed their Agent to carry out certain repairs; the
cost was estimated at Rs.40* I gather that in a
conversation which apparently you had with Mr. Service,
there was a suggestion that the land.ing circle should
be re-cemented as in many places the cement was peeling
off. . .. ......... ... . ... ~
It is not known whether the loose pieces of
loose pieces of cement cle
leaving the surface level.
