Mr. Baker Whiteasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation how many airfields have 18W runways sufficiently large to enable them to be used by the Brabazon aircraft.
§ Mr. LindgrenThe aerodrome requirements cannot be accurately assessed until the aircraft has been flight tested, but according to present estimates of the performance of the turbine-propeller version, there are many aerodromes in various parts of the world with runways of sufficient length, though the bearing strength of runways may also be a limiting factor. However, the aircraft is designed for use on the London—New York route, with its high density of traffic.
