ot the whole of his dominions, and included a visit to the Bahrain pearling fleet,

experience Was greatly appreciated by the Shaik, who invited the Air Force
Umcers to repeat their visit whenever possible. The landing ground which had

by the Ruler for aircraft in the future. Bahrain, with its favourable position
is perhaps worthy of consideration as a future air station, in view of the proposed
air service between England and India. It is believed that the Ruler would
welcome the establishment of an aerodrome.
