§ 37. Viscount CURZONasked the Secretary of State for Air how many flights have so far been carried out by the ex-German airships handed over to this country; whether any experiments have so far been carried out with them; and to what use is it intended to put them in the future?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo flights have been carried out so far with ex-German airships. The experiments conducted with them have taken the form of investigating German methods of design and construction. These airships are surplus to Royal Air Force requirements, and will be dealt with in the same way as surplus British airships.
