HC Deb 04 February 1959 vol 599 c62W
83. Mr. Hunter

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will make representations to Pan American Airways regarding the smoke and smell from the Boeing 707 when it takes off at London Airport, as this is causing concern to local residents.

Mr. Hay

No. I regret that I am unable to request Pan American Airways to give up their present water injection techniques since the additional power thus derived is essential for the normal take-off of the Boeing 707.
