HC Deb 03 March 1958 vol 583 c105W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for Air what use is to be made of Detling Royal Air Force Station, Kent; and what provisions are being made to keep it in good order until a decision is made about its future.

Mr. Ward

We are disposing of this airfield. Valuable equipment has been removed and the site is visited periodically by officers from a nearby station. Expenditure on maintenance, or on a permanent guard, would not be justified.
