HC Deb 09 February 1983 vol 36 c399W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many aircraft exercises at (a) about 200 ft or less and (b) under 500 ft in Suffolk have been authorised over the last year; and what were the times of these exercises.

Mr. Wiggin

Records of low level training flights over individual counties are not available but in the 12 months ending 31 December 1982 19,708 military flights were conducted over East Anglia at heights below 500 ft; none was lower than 250 ft. Almost all of these flights took place on weekdays between 0700 and 2300 hours, the normal period for low flying training.
