HC Deb 07 July 1966 vol 731 c87W
56. Mr. Bessell

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that a pilot of the United States Air Force, flying in the area where the British Overseas Airways Corporation Boeing 707 crashed on 5th March 1966, warned the Tokyo Civil Airport of abnormal and dangerous turbulence and that this warning was disregarded; and what steps Her Majesty's Government are taking to ensure that there is no repetition of incidents of this kind.

Mr. Mason

No. Extensive inquiries have revealed no evidence of any such warning to the Tokyo Civil Airport. The second part of the question therefore does not arise.
