On of the locations
which was shown was the proposal of a mast in Colombo, then
part of what was known as Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. The mast
is in a strategic location on the route down to Australia.
Nothing more is known of the proposed Colombo mast, however
it is quite likely with the expansion of the route to Australia
that the mast could service those airships travelling down
from India, to Perth in Australia, as it sits on a geographic
line directly south east connecting those locations.
Ceylon, at the time,
was also an important communications / trading partner of
the British Empire.
