Dear Tyirnns,
Please refer to previous correspondence terminating
with Gandy ! s letter of the 15th November, No. 031-3, on the
subject of the wireless stations at Gwadur and Gharjah.
In reply to the point raised by you with respect to
the services to be rendered by Gwadur and Sharjah, the position
is that it is intended primarily that the stations, v/hich will
be operated and maintained by Imperial Airways on terms agreed
between the Air Ministry and the Company, should assist the air
services operating to India and Australia, and should also be
available for use by Royal Air Force aircraft. For the time
being a continuous watch will not be kept at these stations and
facilities will only be available for other aircraft flying on
the route if circumstances permit.
As regards the inqur^y by your Posts and Telegraphs
Department concerning the allocation of correspondence on the
administration of Sharjah and Gwadur, we consider that this
should be communicated to the Air Ministry through the official
channels.
We note the arrangements that have been made for the
exchange of messages between the aeronautical wireless stations
in India and Burma, and we should like Sharjah and Gwadur to
co-operate similarly in the exchange of messages of the type
enumerated in the memorandum prepared by the Deputy Director
General of Wireless, a copy of which was forwarded with your
letter of the 3rd June last.
We would prefer, however, that these messages should
be extended to include all those defined in Part II of Volume
1 of the Reglement du Service International des Tele-communica
tions de 1’Aeronautique (Paris, 1937). At present, such messages
as those reporting the position of aircraft and those reserving
accommodation for aircraft are omitted by India.
In this connection I should like to draw your attention
to the letter from the Government of India to the
India Office
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.
dated 27th September, 1937 (relevant extract enclosed herewith)
pointing out that it would not be possible to accept messages
relating to the reservation of seats as mentioned in Article 18
of Part II of the Reglement, and referring to their letter No.
V.15 dated 3rd June, 1937, to the International Commission for
Air Navigation; a copy of this letter is enclosed herewith.
You will observe that although in the letter of 27th
September, reference is made to non acceptance of messages
relating to reservation of seats, the Government of India in
their communication to the I.C.A.N., referred to the insertion
of the names of passengers in W/T messages for reservation of
seats. You will also remark that the Government of India state
that while they are unable to accept Article 18, they will give
effect to the remaining provisions of Part II of the Reglement.
We note, however, that the memorandum issued by the Deputy
Director General of Wireless, does not include the transmission
