HC Deb 06 November 1967 vol 753 cc52-3W
Sir Ian Orr-Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether a site has yet been selected for the Royal Air Force Museum.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I am pleased to be able to say that with the approval of the Ministry of Defence and the Council of the London Borough of Barnet, the Trustees of the Royal Air Force Museum have selected a site for the Museum on the former Hendon airfield. Preliminary planning for the Museum is in hand; and the aim of the Trustees is to present their plans for the R.A.F. Museum publicly next year in association with the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Royal Air Force.
