HC Deb 16 June 1948 vol 452 c50W
79. Mr. Turton

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the R.A.F. team in the International Gliding Competition will be using British-built sailplanes.

Mr. A. Henderson

No R.A.F. team will be taking part in this competition. I understand that the British Gliding Association have invited two R.A.F. officers to join the British team and that these officers will be using the German-built gliders which they have been practising on in Germany.
