HC Deb 04 July 1956 vol 555 c1311
22. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will make available to British civil airways landing rights on Royal Air Force aerodromes in the east of Scotland similar to those available at other service stations where civilian aeroplanes are accommodated.

The Secretary of State for Air (Mr. Nigel Birch)

Most of the airfields from which the Royal Air Force operates in this area are already available to civil aircraft.

Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

I did not quite catch the first word of the reply. Do I understand that the Leuchars aerodrome is available for civil aircraft?

Mr. Birch

I understand that it is available as a diversion airport.
