HC Deb 24 April 1970 vol 800 c187W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many air-miss incidents have occurred over the navigation beacon near Epsom in the years 1963 to 1969.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts:

In the years 1963 to 1969 inclusive nine reports were received of air misses occurring in the airspace within a five miles radius of the Epsom beacon.

The air navigation beacon known as " Epsom " beacon was moved from Epsom to Stoke d'Abernon in 1968 but the call sign was left unchanged for the greater convenience of international operators.
