§ 57. Mr. Perkinsasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the de 2066 Haviland air-lines known as the 86A and 86B are licensed to fly with passengers by night?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadThe certificates of airworthiness still in force for D.H. 86A aircraft contain a condition prohibiting night flying, but all these aircraft are being converted to D.H. 86B type. No such restrictive condition is applied in respect of certificates of airworthiness granted for D.H. 86B aircraft; but all aircraft carrying out flights by night are obliged to carry certain equipment laid down in Regulations.
§ Mr. PerkinsDo I understand from the Minister's answer, which I could not hear, that D.H. 86A machines are not allowed to carry out night flying?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadYes, that is SO.
