BRITISH AIRSHIPS.
CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRESS. STRONGER THAN GRAF ZEPPELIN (Australian Press Association). Received September 16, 1.20 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 15. The Daily Telegraph’s aeronautical correspondent states: — “There is no possibility of the oilburning airship RlOl emerging before November. The weight of the engines and their fittings exceed the estimate by five tons, and she has 1000 horsepower less than was expected. “RlOl is not likely to carry the intended hundred passengers. “The petrol-burning RIOO will lie ready in the middle of October, but she will not venture into the tropics. “Both for structural strength far outstrip tile Graf Zeppelin.”
