HC Deb 02 June 1965 vol 713 c208W
33. Sir A. V. Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for Defence, in view of the fact that Phantom aircraft for the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force are being fitted with Rolls Royce engines, when these aircraft will be in squadron use.

Mr. Healey

We hope to introduce the Spey-engined Phantoms into squadron service with the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force during 1968–69. As announced in February the P.1154 could not possibly have been in service before 1970–71 and might well have been later.
