Report on the Progress of Civil Aviation India. 1932-33

1933

In the middle distance is the Howrah bridge crossing the Hooghly river in the left foreground the Maidan and on the right the marshes which adjoin Calcutta. [...] In the background the Government hangar and in the upper left hand corner the new club house of the Bengal Flying Club. [...] With the co-operation of the Sheikhs of Bahrein and Sharjah a route was organised along the Arabian shore of the Gulf and the service is now operated vid those places and rejoins the original route at Gwadar. [...] Whilst the change had excellent results during the summer it was found that the intense storms and strong winds encountered in the neighbourhood of the mountains of the Asia Minor mainland during the winter combined with the long refuelling stages had a very serious effect on the punctality of the service which gave rise to much criticism in India. [...] (1) Plying Clubs.—On the whole good progress in the flying club movement was maintained the only set back being the cessation of the activities of the Punjab Flying Club.
