Further, should the Persian Government, in course of the negotiations, suggest another route ending in Baluchistan, removal of that province from the list of prohibited areas might leave His Majesty’s Government without any cause for protest except one based on the difficult nature of the route, to which it is feared that the Persian Government might reply by calling attention to the performance of Junkers across Persia and their proposed route via Kandahar into and across Afghanistan.” <IOR/L/PS/12/1949> 10 June 1931 “On the 10th June the Imperial Airways Eastbound Liner “City of Delhi” crashed on landing at Bushire and damaged her under carriage. A sunken road which traverses a corner of the aerodrome was the cause of this accident. Her passengers and mails were unhurt and continued their journey on the following Friday the 12th June in a liner sent for the purpose.” Coll 30/5 'Persian Gulf.
