May B—(UP)—The world's latest and most expensive experiment in aircraft construction will be given its first test in late May when gas is blown Into the bags of the R-100 and the R-101, Great Britain’s new $4,000.000 airships. Sir Samuel Heare, British Air Minister, recently announced in the House of Commons that the two new airships would make flights to Canada and India in the fall if the trial flights were successful. Air experts of the world perked up their ears at this announetqnent for Great Britain’s fail-

re 111 these two ventures tuny mean death for future Airship construction. The R-100. the Air Ministry has decided, will go tn Canada, while the R-101 will make its first long flight to India and Egypt where arrangement* already have been made for handling the ship. It is understood here that the H-100 might include the United States in its itinerary If Washington extends an invitation. But so far Sir Samuel has refused to divulge when the shed tests and first trial flights will be held. Previuos delays, and subsequent questioning in Parliament, have made him cautious. The United Press learns, however, that the bags will be filled by early Jno after which the first local flights will be made. Nearing Completion The construction of these two f>,QOO.OOO cubic feet gas-filled airships is rapidly nearing" completion after innumerable delays Occasioned by fhanges in plans and the addition of many new devices which never before have been employed on giant airships. The R-101, in particular, represents several radical departures in the construction of the steel frame and In the arrangement of the interior. The G-101 is being constructed at

the Royal Airship Works, Cardington while the R-100 Is being made for the Air Ministry by the Airship Guarantee Company at Howden, York This company holds an option for the purchase of this ship should they wish after the first flights. If it is possible the Air Ministry means to have both ships manned by the same crew on the long distance flights to Canada and Egypt. In such a case both flights will be commanded by Major G II- Scott. Superintendent of Airship Flying, und a crew of 50 officers and men recruited from the Royal Air Forces and the Air Ministry staff. No passengers, it is announced, will be taken on the flights to the continents. As the R-100 Is fitted with ordinary petrol engins it was selected sor 1 the flight to America, whereas the R-101, equipped with Diesel engines, is more suited to the warm atmosphere which will be annuonced on the flight to India and Egypt.
