Tour telegram 22 3rd January. I have acquiesced, though
with considerable misgiving, in passage of aircraft detailed in
my telegram 5 3rd January provided arrival ot aircrait is spac,
out as far as practicable and that aircrews are confined to
Mingaladon R.A.P. area. Air H.Q. here are endeavouring uo
arrange for arrival of aircraft in flights of two, limited to
two flights a day, and will restrict movement ox aircrews on

2- A"ir H.Q. have now heen asked to obtain Governor of Burma s
agreement for a further flight of three Ju 52 scheduled to
arrive Rangoon 25th January. I have agreed to parage oi this
further flight on same basis as before-
3. Obviously, however, the further this movement is prolonged
the greater the risk of embarrassment. Moreover, ,.n..le
transit of a limited number of a^cra^^ghtbepassed off as
m emergency measure it will be more difficult uo deiend anytning
like a regular traffic. I feel -that 1 cannot agree uo the

IssentL! we should be informed TfTotal-numbers of aircraft
that the French are intending to pass through ?urma and the
period over which they will be extended. At the same time I
feel that the French Government should be w f r "® a >i ^ a f t ^ thhold
circumstances might at any time make ^ nna o- a • ^
permission for the transit of air traffic at shorv no^-e. .
About this item
- Content
The file predominantly consists of telegrams and cypher messages regarding the transit of French military aircraft across India and Burma while en-route to Indochina. The messages contain requests for clearance, details of the planes in transit, their flight schedules, and any restrictions imposed by local authorities. A significant number are concerned with French air ambulances.
There is also some correspondence between the Burma Office and the Governor of Burma related to Burmese opposition to French military action in Indochina, and the difficulties this places the Government of Burma in granting authorisation for transit flights of French aircraft.
The main correspondents in the file are as follows: the Air Attaché to Paris, the Air Ministry, Air Headquarters (India), and Air Headquarters (Burma).
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
