HC Deb 24 October 1945 vol 414 c2161W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is satisfied that the two extra hangars now about to be erected at St. Mawgan aerodrome are so placed as not to spoil the beauties of the countryside, especially in view of the decision to make use of this aerodrome as a main trans-Atlantic airport.

Mr. Strachey

The sites for these temporary hangars had to fit in with the existing lay-out of the airfield, and to avoid causing obstructions to flying. Within limitations such as these we are anxious to preserve natural amenities wherever possible. I should add that I am not aware of a decision to use St. Mawgan as a main trans-Atlantic airport.
