§ 81. Sir W. Darlingasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, if he is now able to state his plans for Turnhouse, Edinburgh; who will be the operators; what field of operation will be covered; and when a regular daily service will be established between Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham and London with Turn-house.
Mr. Ivor ThomasTurnhouse aerodrome will be used by scheduled civil air services as soon as it can be suitably adapted. The modification of existing buildings and the installation of the necessary technical facilities involve much work but the plans which have been made will be put into effect with high priority. The operators will be the proposed British European Airways Corporation. Edinburgh will be linked by air to most of the main centres in the United Kingdom, and, at a later date, to the Continent. Details of the routes will be announced later.
