HC Deb 02 August 1946 vol 426 cc301-2W
Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether any action can be taken to make less noisy the Harvard aircraft used for training from Little Rissington aerodrome; and how soon it will be before such aircraft can be replaced by other less noisy training types.

Mr. de Freitas

We have tried hard to reduce the noise of this aircraft, but I am afraid without much success. Its replacement is unlikely to reach the Royal Air Force in less than two years.
