HC Deb 03 May 1990 vol 171 c647W
Mr. Macdonald

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he last reviewed the age and airworthiness of the RAF Shackleton fleet; whether he has any plans for a further review; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The airworthiness of the Shackleton is kept under regular review. Age is not in itself a material factor.
