return to a peace time footing. The special R.A.F.
services were abolished and some of the B.O.A«C. services
discontinued. The trunk route service from the united

Lodestar service between Bahrain and Cairo which was
proposed at the end of last year was not introduced.
Early in January the 'Ensign' class aircraft were with
drawn from the Cairo-Karachi schedule and their place
taken by 'C' Class flyingboats. Towards the end of the
year notice was received that the 'C' Class flyingboats
were also to be withdrawn and replaced by the new Tudor
land aircraft. Unfortunately the tonnage of the Tudor
'planes makes it impossible for them to use the Muharraq
aerodrome and this will deprive Bahrain of both the
Durban-Calcutta and the Cairo-Karachi schedules and break
