§ 13. Mr. Odeyasked the Secretary of State for Air why low-flying aircraft are allowed to alarm villages in the East Riding of Yorkshire by flying so low almost daily; and whether this practice could be done further from habitation.
§ Mr. de FreitasLow-flying practice is an essential part of aircrew training. Authorised low-flying areas and routes are carefully planned to give the least possible disturbance to the civilian population and I regret that it is not practicable for the low-flying areas in the East Riding to be moved elsewhere.
