§ 31. Mr. AMERYasked the Secretary of State for War how many of the aeroplanes owned by the War Office are of variable speed; how many are two or three seaters, with arrangements for dual control; and how many are fitted with automatic telephoto apparatus and how many with wireless telegraph apparatus, respectively?
§ Colonel SEELYAll aeroplanes are capable of some variation in speed. As regards the other points raised in the question, it is not considered to be in the interests of the Service to publish the required information.
§ 32. Mr. AMERYasked what steps, if any, are being taken to provide special maps of the United Knigdom, the adjacent portions of the Continent, and also other parts of the British Empire, for the use of military airmen?
§ Colonel SEELYSpecial maps were prepared for last year's manœuvres, and other specially prepared specimens have been under consideration; experience tends to show, however, that ordinary maps are suitable for the use of airmen.
