HC Deb 07 February 1951 vol 483 c1706
2. Squadron Leader Burden

asked the Secretary of State for Air what jet fighters, shot down in Korea in territory occupied by United Nations Forces, have been examined by British technical intelligence teams.

Mr. A. Henderson

I am advised that no enemy jet fighters shot down in Korea have landed on territory occupied by United Nations Forces.

Squadron Leader Burden

Does the Minister not agree that it is extremely unlikely that the Russians will sell us any of their jet engines, and will he therefore take every step to ensure that, if any fall on territory occupied by United Nations Forces in Korea, our intelligence teams will have an opportunity of examining them?
