HC Deb 22 July 1986 vol 102 c163W
Mr. John Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will arrange for an inspection of the condition of the two Spitfire aircraft at the gates of RAF Biggin Hill, with a view to sanctioning any necessary repairs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman

These aircraft were inspected about a year ago and we are aware of their condition. An internal review is being undertaken of the maintenance programme needed for gate guardian aircraft and how such a programme should be financed.
