§ 89. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Supply if he is aware that the Brabazon has passed its experimental stages and that many distinguished passengers have flown in her; and if he is satisfied that this aircraft is now fully airworthy and suitable for immediate offer to the operating companies; and what steps he proposes to take to advertise this fact.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussNo. The Brabazon I has a certificate of airworthiness in a special category for experimental flying and demonstration, including the carrying of non-fare-paying passengers. The experimental stage has not been passed and much development work remains to be done before a full certificate of airworthiness for commercial service could be obtained.
