HC Deb 28 February 1945 vol 408 c1414W
Major Neven-Spence

asked the Postmaster-General on how many days in January the aeroplanes due to carry the mails to Orkney and Shetland were unable to take off from Inverness and Aberdeen, respectively.

Captain Crookshank

The aircraft due to carry mail from Inverness to Orkney took off regularly throughout January. On the Inverness-Shetland service there were two, and on the Aberdeen-Shetland service twelve, failures to take off owing to snow.
