HC Deb 14 December 1955 vol 547 cc183-4W
74. Mr. Hay

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will take action to avoid the nuisance from the use of jet aircraft at weekends by Reserve pilots in the vicinity of Benson airfield, Oxford.

Commander Noble

I much regret the inconvenience caused by weekend flying to those living near the airfield at Benson but this flying is essential if the pilots, who are members of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and are only available at weekends, are to be properly trained.
