Soft cover. Condition: Good. Self-wraps, 12pp foolscap. Good, lightly creased with closed tear to spine. The Advisory Committee chaired by Lord Weir (late Secretary of State for the RAF) was created to report to Churchill on how best to organise imperial air routes and develop civil aviation in the most cost effective way. This document contains the report it submitted to Churchill dated 19 April 1920, with Trenchard's separate report of 20 April 1920, and an Appendix summarising the more important steps taken by the Air Ministry for the assistance of Civil Aviation. It makes recommendations on the amount of financial support for approved routes from London to Paris and Brussels (and approved extensions therefrom), and Scandinavia using flying boats, amphibious craft, etc. Companies applying to run those routes should be approved conditional on regularity and speed of service offered. Trenchard submitted his separate report as he did not agree with all the Committee's recommendations. He advised against direct subsidies to air transport companies, preferring to fund design and research into experimental machines instead.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. Self-wraps, 6pp foolscap. Good with closed tears, some foxing and marks, minor loss, some staining and archival tape reinforcement to lower edges. The Advisory Committee chaired by Lord Weir (late Secretary of State for the RAF) was created to report to Churchill on how best to organise imperial air routes. In this report, it recommends developing the route from Egypt to India first (eventually this would connect on to Australia) and the route to South Africa via Egypt next. This should be led by private business with state support. The GPO should tender out for the corresponding airmail service. The RAF can place surplus engines and other materials at the disposal of the Civil Aviation Department for free distribution. Prohibitions on civil aviation in Egypt and India should be lifted.

Archive of 11 large rough proof photographs of the R101 airship disaster, the photographs measure 12'' x 10'' [6] and 10'' x 8'' [5]. A total of 46 of the 54 passengers and crew were killed immediately. Rigger's S. Church and W. G. Radcliffe survived the crash but later died in hospital in Beauvais, bringing the total of dead to 48. The bodies were returned to England and on Friday 10 October a memorial service took place at St Paul's Cathedral while the bodies lay in state in Westminster Hall at the Palace of Westminster. Nearly 90,000 people queued to pay their respects: at one time the queue was half a mile long, and the hall was kept open until 12:35 am to admit them all. The following day a funeral procession transferred the bodies to Euston station through streets crowded with mourners: the bodies were then taken to Cardington village for burial in a common grave in the cemetery of St Mary's church. A monument was later erected, and the scorched Royal Air Force Ensign which R101 had flown on its tail is on display, along with a memorial tablet, in the church's nave. On 27 November 2014, 84 years after the disaster, Baroness Smith of Basildon, together with members of the Airship Heritage Trust, unveiled a memorial plaque to the R101 in St Stephens Hall in the Palace of Westminster.
