HC Deb 25 July 1978 vol 954 c622W
33. Mr. Jim Spicer

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he proposes to reinstitute close formation flying for 38 Group, Royal Air Force.

Mr. Wellbeloved

We have no current plans to reinstitute this form of training for our Hercules aircraft. Jaguar and Harrier aircraft of 38 Group practise close formation flying as part of their normal operational training.
