HC Deb 01 April 1968 vol 762 cc23-4W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when the radar system for military use at Turn-house Airport was removed; what was the cost of removal; and to what use the equipment removed was put.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Turn-house was operated by the Ministry of Civil Aviation between 1947 and 1952; between 1952 and 1960 it was operated by the R.A.F. for joint civil/military use; since 1960 the airfield has been entirely civil. I am looking into the earlier history and I will write to the hon. Member.
