§ 9. Mr. M. Stewartasked the Minister of Aviation whether he has completed the inquiries into low-flying aircraft over Vincent Square, London, S.W.1, on the evening of 3rd July; and with what result.
§ Mr. SandysYes, Sir. Inquiries established that the two aircraft in question, which I thought were flying too low, were in fact well above the minimum permitted height. This goes to show how little reliance can be placed on estimates of height made by inexperienced observers.
§ Mr. StewartDoes the Minister agree that when one can judge not only by hearing but by sight one's estimate that the aircraft is likely to be flying too low is probably correct? That is what sometimes happens over Fulham.
§ Mr. SandysPerhaps the hon. Member is more expert in this matter than I am.
