§ 28. Mr. de Freitasasked the Minister of Defence what research and development work is being done in the Services to facilitate the landing and taking off of aircraft during fog.
§ Mr. SandysI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Air yesterday.
§ Mr. de FreitasSurely not only the Air Ministry is concerned in this? Are not all the Fighting Services concerned in developing something which has much greater promise of a more effective and cheaper method of handling fog than F.I.D.O. or fog dispersal?
§ Mr. SandysI thought the hon. Gentleman was mainly concerned with the Air Force. I can assure him that the Navy is also examining possibilities of developing a fully automatic blind landing system for carriers.
