Sir,
I am commanded by the Air Council to refer to
Sir John Shuchburgh’s letter of the 15th instant desiring
to be informed of the views of the Air Council regarding
the possibility of the Hoyal Air Force aeroplanes which
are about to visit Bahrain carrying out a demonstration
flight over Hejd territory. Ihe Council understand
this proposal to mean that the aircraft, having accomp-
-lished the flight to Bahrain, should use that place fxx
as a base for a subsequent flight to Biyadh, rather than
it would suffice if any part of Bejd territory should be
traversed en route to Bahrain. This will more clearly
appear from the letter dated the 1st instant from the
Air Officer Commanding in Iraq, a copy of which with its
acoompan/ying memorandum is enclosed herewith. It will
be seen from this letter that Biyadh itself is beyond the
range of aircraft operating from any base a$ present under
British control, and the Air Council assume that no useful
purpose would be served in existing circoxastance^ hj a
flight which did not demonstrate the accessibility of
Riyadh and the Has a Oasis.
2. Regarding the possibility of carrying out such
a flight from Bahrain, while it is clear that careful pre
paration would be required the Council foresee no serious
technical
