HC Deb 19 December 1945 vol 417 c1338
76. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Moore

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation why he has agreed to the permanent establishment of a Naval Flying Training Unit within 1,200 yards of Prestwick airport.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (Mr. Ivor Thomas)

The Naval Unit referred to is presumably that stationed at Heathfield airfield. My Department has not agreed to the permanent establishment of a Naval Flying Training Unit at this airfield. I am informed that flying training there will cease next month.

Sir T. Moore

Thank you very much, Sir.
