HC Deb 15 February 1971 vol 811 c324W
Mr. Wilkinson

asked the Minister of State for Defence if a detached flight of No. 22 Squadron, No. 18 (Maritime) Group, Royal Air Force Strike Command will be stationed at Royal Naval Air Station, Brawdy, to provide helicopter air-sea rescue facilities for the Jaguar Operational Conversion Unit and for the Bristol Channel area generally when Royal Air Force, Chivenor, closes as a flying station in 1972–73.

Mr. Lambton

We plan to deploy Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopters in support of the Jaguar Operational Conversion Unit when the latter is established at Brawdy. The precise date of these deployments cannot yet be settled.
