§ Dr. Segalasked the Minister of Supply how many R.A.F. aircraft engines were dumped into the sea at Takoradi, on the Gold Coast; how much did they originally cost; and what were the reasons for this method of disposal.
§ Mr. WilmotFifty-five aircraft engines, which originally cost £3,280 each, were disposed of in this way. They were surplus to R.A.F. requirements and were dumped after unsuccessful efforts had been made to sell them, either as engines or as scrap.
