HC Deb 07 April 1938 vol 334 c548W
Mr. Perkins

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what make of motor-boats are regularly used to service Imperial Airways, Limited, flying-boats at Rome; whether any trouble has been experienced with these boats; and whether motorboats of foreign manufacture have ever been used?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

The two launches used by Imperial Airways at Lake Bracciano are of Italian construction and neither has given any trouble in operation.
