ROYAL FLYING COUPS (NAVAL WING).

HC Deb 29 January 1913 vol 47 cc1311-2

14. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked whether the First Lord of the Admiralty has selected a number of sites round the coast for hydroplane stations; and whether he is contemplaing any large extension of the Naval Wing of the Royal Flying Corps?

16. Mr. FELL

asked if several stations and garages for aeroplanes and dirigibles are to be established on the East Coast of England to accommodate the aircraft which may be employed by the Admiralty in the North Sea?

Dr. MACNAMARA

The establishment of aircraft bases on the East and South Coasts, as well as the general development of the Naval Wing of the Royal Flying Corps, are both questions that are receiving the close attention that their importance demands.

Mr. FELL

Will another statement be made as to these stations?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I am afraid I cannot go beyond the answer I have given today.
