HC Deb 19 June 1950 vol 476 c61W
89. Air-Commodore Harvey

asked the Ministers of Supply how many de Havilland Moth training aircraft have been, or are in the process of being, broken up during the last 12 months.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

During the last 12 months 239 Tiger Moths have been broken up, under a contract placed by my Department, to recover components and spares needed by the Royal Air Force. I am informed by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Air that the Royal Air Force have themselves also broken up 81 during this period, with the same object.
