Dr. ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he is now in a position to publish in theOfficial Report details of the military aircraft accident which occurred on 14 June over the Cardigan bay area.
§ Mr. NeubertOn the afternoon of 14 June, while engaged on a training flight under instruction and practising a formation rejoin at 10,000 feet, two RAF Hawk aircraft from RAF Valley collided some 15 miles south-east of Llanbeder. One pilot, a Royal Navy officer, ejected successfully. Unfortunately, the pilot of the second aircraft—a Royal Air Force officer—did not eject and was killed. Wreckage fell on two sites about eight miles apart. A board of inquiry was convened in the normal way. A summary of the results of the inquiry will be published in due course.
