§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has been made in providing blast-proof shelters for United States and Royal Air Force aircraft stationed in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. PattieHardened aircraft shelters are planned for six RAF stations. These are Honington, Marham, Wattisham, Coningsby, Lossiemouth and Leuchars. Work at Honington began in October. Programmes for the other five stations are at various stages of preparation but it is hoped that in each case work will have begun by autumn 1980.
Shelters are under construction for the United States Air Force at five of its stations—Alconbury, Bentwaters, Woodbridge, Lakenheath and Upper Heyford. A proportion has now been completed, and others are completed except for the doors.
