| Administrative / biographical background: |
Aerodromes General Division was established in the Ministry of Aviation in 1960 and GA3(b) Branch of the Division in 1965 (prior to 1965 the Branch's functions were the responsibility of GA2 Branch). The Branch initially retained its name when responsibilty for civil aviation matters was transferred to the Board of Trade (later the Department of Trade and Industry) in the latter half of 1966, but in 1968, following a restructuring of the civil aviation side of the Department, its functions were absorbed by a new Civil Aviation Division 3. When responsibilty for aviation was transferred to the Department of Transport in 1983 these functions were exercised by Division 5 (later Division 4) of the Civil Aviation Policy Directorate. They are currently the responsibility of the Department's Aviation Environmental Division. The Branch's function was to deal with general questions on measures to control noise, vibration and air pollution caused by civil aircraft. It was responsible for certain airports in England and Wales including non-state aerodromes and heliports. |
