The answer to the first part of the question is £380,000, all but a negligible portion being expenditure on the new airship programme; to the second, that the contracts for the R.35 and R.39 were cancelled, that the R.37, L.64, and L.71 were scrapped, all useful gear being removed and kept for future use, and that the R.80 is being used for for strain experiments; to the last part of the question, that none of the airships was sold, but some of the unwanted parts of those which were broken up realised about £l,300.
