The object of the expedition is the exact geological surveying, mapping of the area and a first exploration of possible ascent routes.
07. August 1946; CAICO Test Site ; near Loiwing
The Defence Ministry has released details of the design of the new CAICO Long-range interceptor aircraft that has been under development for the Chinese Air Force over the course of the past several years. A spokesman for the Ministry indicated that a prototype of the aircraft is expected to fly sometime end of the year, though no date for such was given at this time.
While one prototype will be fitted with conventional radial engines, it is planned to equip another prototype with african turbojet engines. Thus, the jet age will be launched in China.
The mentioned herein connection is the Trans Asia Airways - Route from Kaohsiung to Guam (Pacifica) and continuing to Tarawa (Pacifica). The route is served by flying boats of Transasia or Eurasia. Therefore the catapult ships of the Eurasia Corporation are at anchor at Guam and Tarawa.
While working on some of my own news, I was thinking about Everest some more. Rocky never indicated which side the joint Bharati-British team scaled, but considering that for a long time "Nepal was a 'forbidden country' for westerners" (from wiki) and OTL only opened up in the late 1940s, it seems to me that, with the inclusion of the British in the team, it would mean that they must have scaled the Northside in the 1946 expedition... I do not see why Wesworld Nepal 'forbidden' status would or should be different from OTL...
Also with the "Nepal was a 'forbidden country' for westerners", it would mean that the "we crossed paths in Nepal with our British counterparts" event mentioned in India's 9 September 1945 news (and which seems to have happened prior to 1944) could never have taken place in Nepal as the British would not have been allowed in Nepal at the time of the meeting.

Additionally there is the question how do they come to the Northside ???? There was no inquiry that a joint Bharat/British team can climb up from the chinese side. Whether this permission had been given, is another question.

Going to the north side was politically complex: it required the persistent intervention of the British-Indian government with the Dalai Lama regime in Tibet to allow British expedition activities.
