HC Deb 03 November 1993 vol 231 c287W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many Dominie aircrew are currently assigned to maritime patrol duties in wartime; when this role for the Dominie was first introduced; and what is the annual training requirement for aircrew assigned to this role.

Mr. Hanley

Six crews, each of four personnel, are assigned to short range maritime patrol duties in wartime. This role was introduced for the Dominie in the late 1960s. There is no formal additional training requirement.
