HC Deb 01 May 1939 vol 346 cc1499-500
44. Mr. Perkins

asked the Secretary of State for Air the cause of the delay in the completion of the Lorenz system for blind landings at Southampton airport; and when he expects this system to be in full operation?

Captain Balfour

The installation of the Very High Frequency Beacon system at Southampton airport has been delayed on account of difficulties in obtaining way-leaves in connection with power supply. These difficulties have now been overcome, and I hope that it will be possible for the installation to be completed and tests carried out during the month of June.
