BOAC takes good care of Chinese art treasures

Chinese art treasures

Chinese art treasures worth SA2O million have been flown from Peking to Paris by the BO AC division of British Air ways.

The treasures are on view in the French capital during the northern summer and will afterwards be exhibited in Lon don.

This is the first time the Chinese have permitted such ancient items—some date back to 1500 BC— to be sent to a western country.

Travelling on the flight via Dubai to Le Bourget were two representatives of the History Museum in Peking and a Lhinese-speaking member of the British Foreign Office. • T J^ e o?<P AC °-B-cargo jet car ried 3/8 items weighing four tons.
