§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Secretary of State for Air whether it is intended to change the engines of R.100 from petrol engines to Diesel and hydrogen-kerosene engines; whether, if this be the case, the cost is allowed for in the contract or how much extra will it be; and whether he can now state when the airship will be doing her first trials?
§ Sir S. HOAREAs regards the first two parts of the question, the R.100 will be delivered for her trials with petrol engines. As regards the last part, I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Everton (Colonel Woodcock) on 31st January.
