HC Deb 13 July 1966 vol 731 c213W
Mr. Webster

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the practice of photographing from the aircraft every parachute training jump performed is still being continued.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

No. It was decided in 1956 that it was not worth while to arrange for every service drop to be photographed. As stated by my hon. Friend, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Aviation, on 6th July, photography is used in the extensive trials carried out by the Ministry of Aviation.
