Dear sir Rupert Hay,
Please refer to your letter 45/4/50 of
the 26th January to James Murray (who incidentally
left the Department in December and is now in
Cairo).
2. You suggest that since the present Muscat
air-field is unsatisfactory for large aircraft,
it might be as well for us to survey alternative
sites, in the event of our wishing to develop an
aerodrome for such aircraft at a later date.
3« The fact is that unaer the terms of our
agreement with the Sultan of Muscat we have rights
and obligations only at Salalah, Masirah and
Gwadur but not at Muscat itself. Furthermore we
have no interest in passing local or trunk route
services through Muscat which might justify
expenditure on the air—field. In the circumstances
we hope you will agree that there is no
justification for surveying sites at present
Yours sincerely,
A.G.R. Rouse
Lieutenant Colonel
Sir Rupert Hay, K.C.I.K,
BAHRAIN.
