HC Deb 28 March 1983 vol 40 c25W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the trials at the aeroplane and armament experimental establishment on Boscombe Down, to allow Nimrod aircraft to land in high cross winds, and on the use of matting in place of a permanent runway.

Mr. Pattie

These trials have enabled appropriate operating parameters to be determined.
