HC Deb 13 February 1946 vol 419 c119W
Squadron-Leader Fleming

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air why the troop carrying Dakota No. 649, landed at Le Bourget aerodrome on 7th December, 1945, and did not continue its journey to the United Kingdom, but disembarked its passengers in France to await another air craft from England.

Mr. Strachey

The hon. and gallant Member may be referring to Dakota No. NK 509, not 649, which was rightly detained at Le Bourget on 7th December last because one of its engines needed attention.
