HC Deb 26 June 1961 vol 643 c4W
61. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Aviation whether he has approved British European Airways purchase of Boeing-Vertol 107 helicopters; how many are being bought; and when and on what routes he anticipates a helicopter service.

Mr. Rippon

British European Airways and Sabena are discussing the possibility of introducing joint cross-Channel services. Further work needs to be done before any scheme can be approved. Progress so far gives us cause for optimism.
