ming passed through Trinidad on Wednesday on his return to England fron Demerara where he has been investigating the prospects of establishing an aerial service from Georgetown into the Mazaruni River diamond fields and also carrying out aerial survey for the Government. Major Hemming is much pleased with the reception of bis proposals to British Guiana and thinks that there should be no difficulty in the British Guiana Government coming to a working arrangement with bis Com pany as to the basis on which the proposed service can be inaugurated. He was greatly impressed with the keen interest which the Government and local business men displayed in the scheme. His personal experience of travelling by boat up and down the Mazarupi River convinced bim that flying was a very much safer means of transport than the present extremely rieky method.
By placing control points at suitable places on the rivers an aerial map could be made of the whole colony, which is the first necessary step to the develop ment of the interior.
From the establishment of the aerial service in British Guiana an extension to Trinidad would, Major Hemming considers, be inevitable and arrangements for this extension are included in ibe scheme which he will lay before his Company, the Aircraft Operating Co. Ltd. on behalf of the West Indian Aerial Transport Co. Ltd. upon his arrival in London.
