HC Deb 16 May 1950 vol 475 c148W
Mr. Granville

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he will ascertain on what instructions twin-engined aircraft flew at roof-top level over Aldeburgh, Suffolk, on 30th April last; and whether appropriate action has been taken to prevent a recurrence of the incident.

Mr. A. Henderson

On 30th April aircraft of Fighter Command took part in a special air defence exercise which included low flying attacks and interceptions over East Anglia. I regret the disturbance caused, but occasional exercises of this kind are essential to the training of our air defences.
