HC Deb 17 June 1955 vol 542 c34W
Mr. Wood

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what instructions are given to pilots using the bombing range near Aldbrough, East Yorkshire, in order to ensure the maximum safety and minimum inconvenience for those living in this area.

Mr. Ward

Pilots are instructed to keep arming and firing switches at "Safe." and bomb doors closed, until the line of sight falls within the danger area. Bombing runs are routed to avoid Aldbrough and Mapleton. Pilots are also required to avoid built-up areas when flying to and from the range.
