§ Captain Kerbyasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will consider using Ford, ex-Royal Naval Air Service aerodrome, West Sussex, as an alternative airport to Hurn, when London Airport and Gatwick Airport are fogbound, or out of service for any other reason.
§ Mr. WatkinsonNo. Hurn is in any case required for other purposes as well as the diversion of aircraft from London's Airports. The traffic would not justify the duplication at Ford of facilities already available at Hurn.
