HC Deb 12 May 1977 vol 931 c563W
Mr. Pattie

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what proportion of the Rapier units in service with British forces in Germany are to be equipped with Blindfire.

Dr. Gilbert

Further to the answer that I gave to the non. Member on 26th April—[Vol. 930, c. 1013]—all the RAF Rapier units will receive the Blindfire radar, but only a proportion of the Army's units will do so because of the different way in which they will be deployed.
