HC Deb 18 February 1946 vol 419 c771
28. Flight-Lieutenant Beswick

asked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production if he will give the nature of the air display given at Radiett aerodrome on 10th February; and whether the purpose of the display was achieved.

Mr. Wilmot

The display was given in order to show the main types of British civil and military aircraft to the delegates to U.N.O. and the opportunity was taken of inviting to it representative aircraft users. I was present at the display. Everybody said it was a great success, and I would like to thank all who helped to make it so.

Flight-Lieutenant Beswick

Is my right hon. Friend aware that this opportunity to display British civil production was particularly appreciated after the recent rebuff that the industry has received from British civil operators?

Mr. Wilmot

Thank you very much.
