§ 79. Captain W. BENNasked the Secretary of State for Air whether a Bristol Fighter, carrying Captain M'Naught Davis and General Carton de Wiart, flew from Warsaw to Kieff immediately after Kieff was taken by the Poles; whether this is part of a regular air service at any time designed or intended between the two places; and whether the machine described was armed?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONA Bristol fighter, carrying Captain M'Naught Davis, a demobilised R.A.F. officer, and General Carton de Wiart, flew from Warsaw to Kieff shortly after the occupation of Kieff by the Poles. This was a demonstration flight carried out under the auspices of a Polish syndicate and did not form part of any regular British air service at any time designed or intended. It is not known whether any Polish firm has planned such a service. The machine in question was not armed.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs it considered part of General Wiart's duties to take part in a demonstration for purposes of this sort?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONIf the hon. and gallant Member will put down that question I will answer it.
