HC Deb 26 January 1971 vol 810 c92W
Mr. Wilkinson

asked the Minister of State for Defence what evaluations have been made, and when, of the Siai Marchetti 5260 as a training aeroplane; and with what results.

Mr. Lambton

The R.A.F. made brief assessments of the handling qualities of the SF260 during 1970. Full-scale evaluations have not been necessary since we have no immediate plans for re-equipment with an aircraft of this class.
