§ Captain W. SHAWasked the Secretary of State for Air what restrictions, if any, are in force against aeroplanes that are merely out for pleasure flying over towns and cities, and for which no Government purpose is served?
§ Sir S. HOAREArticle 9 of the Air Navigation (Consolidation) Order, 1923, includes a prohibition, contravention of which is punishable by imprisonment or fine or both on summary conviction, of aircraft flights over any city or town except at such an altitude that the aircraft should be able to land outside the city or town if its means of propulsion were to fail. It also prohibits trick flying or exhibition flying over any city or town area or populous district, and any flying which by reason of low altitude or proximity to persons or dwellings or for any other reason is the cause of unnecessary danger to any person or property on land or water.
