HC Deb 17 June 1959 vol 607 c47W
Mr. Hunter

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what report was made to him about the emergency landing of the Boeing 707 aircraft at London Airport on Tuesday, 9th June; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Watkinson

This was an incident similar to that which was the subject of a Question by the hon. Member on 13th May.

The aircraft suffered an hydraulic failure, the effects of which were overcome by the use of the emergency system provided expressly for use in such an event.
