HC Deb 19 May 1980 vol 985 c38W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether any change in the use of RAF Greenham Common is implied by recent aircraft movements; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Pattie

My hon. Friend may be referring to a forthcoming series of landing trials, involving one RAF C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, to be held at RAF Greenham Common this summer. These are designed to test runway repair techniques and have no implication for any change in the use of RAF Greenham Common.
