iliat it should he suggested through His Excell-
-ency the High Coiamissloner to Colonial and
Foreign Offices that a political visit should he
conveyed hy air next \pril to Ihn Baud’s capital
at Biy&dh.
The first proposal is independent of the second
and consists in the first place merely forwarding for
consideration of the Mr Staff a description in outline of
a possible scheme for an air offensive against Ihn Baud’s
capital and the small townships adjoining it and his wealth
centre in the Hasa oasis. For this a convenient base
exists at Bahrain and the problem is relatively a simple
one. D.H.9&S. with extra tankage, and air relief
organization for forced landdd machines, well set compasses
meteorological organisations and possibly the location of
a W/T direction-location service {though this is not
perhaps a real necessity) are all that need be provided,
while supply to Bahrain ahauld involve no real difficulties.
If the Foreign Office were to be made aware of
these potentialities of the air arm, wnieh - thi• s
possibly not yet the case, it might greatly strengthen
their hattd in dealing with Ibn Baud, while even though the
stiggestion were never to be put into action, ics eicao
representation would offer a useful and timely example to
the Government of the potentialities of the Hew Service.
For to reach Ibn Baud’s capital by any other means would
prove a very expensive and highly inconvenient and olabor-
- a te undertaking, while by air his capital can be readily
attacked at short notice and very low cost and vviiliouu
chance of serious loss.
