Early plans for Commonwealth airframe manufacture
A government plan outlines employing over four thousand men in airframe production with supporting industries. The Commonwealth seeks rapid setup of central workshops at Mascot and Port Melbourne, with Lyons noting a railway workshop already chosen for space and efficiency. A small committee will guide policy and distribution of work, while an executive with aviation sector experience will steer the organization. Local production of aeroplane engines and import of specific jigs and parts are planned to ensure a swift start.
