HC Deb 05 December 1955 vol 547 c21W
91. Sir T. Moore

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air to what extent Prestwick Pioneer aircraft have been provided for the Royal Air Force; where they are used; to what extent they have been successful; and whether an extension of their use is contemplated.

Mr. Ward

Eighteen Pioneers have been provided, or are on order, for use in Malaya, where they have been particularly successful in giving support to the ground forces. I am not at present prepared to say whether their use will be extended to other theatres.
