§ Mr. LeeOn 7 January 1986, an RAF Phantom engaged in a low-level interception training exercise crashed at Waldon Moor, Yorks. The two-man crew safely ejected although both sustained major injuries. A board of inquiry has been convened to investigate the accident and it would therefore be inappropriate for me to comment further in advance of its findings.
