HC Deb 07 February 1961 vol 634 c42W
Mr. Speir

asked the Secretary of State for Air what use his Department now intends to make of Ouston aerodrome, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne; and whether he is satisfied that adequate use is being made of the modern houses and buildings owned by his Department there.

Mr. Amery:

The airfield will be needed as a relief landing ground for a flying training school which will move to Acklington in the spring. It will continue to be used by Durham University Air Squadron. The buildings will be used by the flying training school; by the University Air Squadron; and by a signals unit and a fighter control cooperation unit which will remain on the station.
